Propagandhi

Propagandhi is a Canadian punk rock band formed in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in 1986 by guitarist Chris Hannah and drummer Jord Samolesky. The band is currently located in Winnipeg, Manitoba and completed by bassist Todd Kowalski and guitarist Sulynn Hago.

While their earlier work was aligned with the punk rock and skate punk tradition, in later years Propagandhi records have moved towards a heavier and more technical heavy metal-influenced sound. Both in their lyrics and hands-on activism, the band's members champion various left wing and anarchist causes and veganism, and have taken a vocal stance against human rights violations, sexism, racism, nationalism, homophobia, imperialism, capitalism and organized religion.

Having formed over 25 years ago, influential Canadian punks Propagandhi need little introduction. The band have just released their sixth studio album and Epitaph Records debut, Failed States, which further raises the lyrical and musical bar set by 2009's critically acclaimed Supporting Caste. Kill Your Stereo spoke with singer and guitarist Chris Hannah about the new record, signing with Epitaph and... Kurt Russell.

Album Review: Propagandhi - Failed States
Failed States might not contain the same instant hooks that existed on some of the band’s earlier releases, but – as was the case with its predecessor Supporting Caste – after a few repeat spins it all begins to sink in.

Album Review: Propagandhi - Failed States
This album is every bit as satisfying as you knew it would be. This is one occasion on which it’s okay to just mindlessly consume.
