Winnipeg political thrashers Propagandhi have a new record out this year, and At Peace’s arrival couldn’t be more needed. Back in the studio for the first time since 2017’s Victory Lap, the band’s eighth studio album will be released on May 2 on Epitaph.
"Speaking for myself, this record might be a snapshot of me deciding whether I'm going to live out the rest of my life as Eckhart Tolle or live out the rest of my life as Ted Kaczynski," Chris Hannah explained in a press release.
Everything I'm singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record How to Clean Everything in 1993. But what we're putting into the songs now, probably reflects more despair than 30 years ago when we had similar perspectives, but with strands of hope and naïveté. Now it's the existential dread of eking out a life worth living in this completely failed society. Twenty years ago, we had a sense that things are fucked but that there could be a mass mobilization of people against the oligarchy, the billionaire class. I don’t think that exists much in our music anymore, and I don’t believe that mobilization is forthcoming. I hope to be proven wrong. Jesus H. Chris
