No really!

It's a recommendation

Sadly, damned again by faint praise.

"okay, this song is called 'resisting tyrannical government'... and it's about killing elected officials as a viable option for social change-- well, it's also a critical analysis of it..."

Great band. Weakerthans also great.

Awesome band. I like the old stuff just fine but their last one, Potemkin City Limits, came outta nowhere for me. Really great record.

Thanks to Concrete Blonde and the Northern Pikes for not being punk bands so nobody will know where we stole our riffs from.

Recommendations similar to Propagandhi?

Promise I will reciprocate with recos beyond Crass

I was never an all-the-time Propagandhi fan or anything but what I always liked about them was the fact it was really hard to get a handle on them. They had (have?) this incredibly clean sound that makes everything sound like metal riffs, but no way would you ever mistake them for a metal band. And their lyrics are unbeatably sardonic and self-reflexive/self-qualifying but there is absolutely no question of them not being serious about the stuff they talk about. In both these respects they are a lot like Dead Kennedys, but they don't sound like the Dead Kennedys. The more I type the more I sound like a superfan! But I'm not. I just like some of their tunes and the way they roll generally

Embarrassed myself earlier with my delayed Career Suicide thread.

Equally cringy about my Propagandhi thread esp. when some coont damned me with faint praise, faint praise.

I've improved my brain by delving back and buying 'Potemkin City Limits' which was released in 1963.
It's great.
More on the metal tip than 'Today's Empires.....' but still.Excellent.

Listen kids. I'm not a trendy kid anymore. And never was.

I'm hungry for this

band is just really great. every album enjoyable. I would rather be preached at than bored.

This is one band I've always wanted to check out but never have. I have no problem with preachy punk, I fucking love Crass & Conflict etc. I think the thing that put me off with these guys is the similarity with NOFX-ish 90s melodi-core but I know there's more to them than that.

Colonel. Start off with 'Today's Empires...'
It's melodic but not in that shitty way you reference.I'm talking seriously good melodies and playing.The lyrics aren't too bad but they're secondary to me.It's all about the music
To me there's not a duff track on the album. Those tracks that are weaker are elevated by at least one musical section in the song. There's some seriously good hardcore in the mix too

Their questionable name put me off- for years. Stupid me.

I bought 'Potemkin City Limits' second . At first it was too 'metal', but it's a real grower.

Any Propogandhi fans care to reco me some more?

Something is telling me it could be a bridge too far?

they're playing dc in a few weeks, i'm stoked

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 7 October 2012 03:22 (7 months ago) Permalink

new record is very good but i find myself wanting for grounding melodic moments (see "potemkin city limits" and "human(e) meat" from the last record)
