No band has gotten more ferocious as they’ve gotten older like Propagandhi has. Play It Again: “Dear Coach’s Corner” Skip It: “Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz)” Oh shit, I started sounding like a real music critic there. Propagandhi’s most musically progressive entry in their catalog is “Supporting Caste.” The performances and production are top notch, and Chris Hannah gains mastery over his voice here. Play It Again: “…And We Thought Nation States Were a Bad Idea” Skip It: “Anchorless”
Quite a bit more aggressive, this LP aims for fewer chuckles and garnered more boos from assholes. Play It Again: “Failed States” Skip It: “Cognitive Suicide”Ī step up from their debut, Propagandhi’s sophomore effort “Less Talk, More Rock” moves closer towards what would become their signature sound. Have you ever listened to an album, enjoyed it, but had difficulty remembering which songs were which? That happens to me with “Failed States.” A better music critic could tell you why, but you’re stuck with me, so we’re going to leave it at that. Play It Again: “Stick the Fucking Flag up Your Goddamn Ass, You Sonofabitch” Skip It: “I Want U 2 Vant Me”įailed States completes Propagandhi’s transformation from a snotty melodic skate punk band to a darker thrash/hardcore institution. This is what happens when you let teens into a recording studio. There are hardly any songs worth revisiting. If you’re a Propagandhi fan whose eye is now twitching with rage because I’m ranking this juvenile outing last, how’s that AARP membership working out for you? “How to Clean Everything” sounds bad.
Ok, let’s get to the rankings of Canada’s most caustic political punks. Fun fact: if you read this whole listicle and listen to all of Propagandhi’s discography today, you will be eligible for an honorary degree in Politics from Bard College.
