Music Propagandhi - Supporting Caste

[Propagandhi]

Another amazing album from an awesome Canadian band.

Propagandhi has always had an active stance against human rights violations, sexism, racism, homophobia, imperialism, fascism, capitalism and religion. The band supports vegan lifestyles and animal rights and are frequently involved and active in various forms of activism.

As great as their music is, the lyrics are the icing on top, but don't forget it's a punk/thrash band so read up on the lyrics when you can't keep up with the singing. Their songs are written in an essay style format, so don't expect some catchy worn out chorus either. I'd really, really recommend giving them a shot, you'll be incredibly impressed if you're open to positive ideology.

Lastly and don't forget... ska still sucks.

PRESS RELEASE:

PROPAGANDHI – SUPPORTING CASTE

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 10TH 2009

Propagandhi are proud pleased delighted required to announce the release of their new album, Supporting Caste.

Recorded at the band’s own Illegal Combatant Studios and the world-renowned Blasting Room in Ft. Collins Colorado, Supporting Caste is the fifth full length release from Winnipeg’s Propagandhi.

Crafted in collaboration with Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, Zeke, 7 Seconds), this 12 song collection of boundless power and depth is a 50 000 watt forward-thinking tip-of-the-hat to the giants — Voivod, Rush, SNFU, Sacrifice, Razor, Guilt Parade – that have gone before them.

Legendary and unrepentant residents of humankind’s ideological peanut-gallery, Propagandhi does not disappoint with Supporting Caste, launching crude rockets into the heart of the prevailing order with meditations that range in focus from the humane slaughter and consumption of non-vegans in an elaborate 18-course banquet (with wine pairings) to the apparent confusion of turning on the TV to watch a simple hockey game and having to wonder whether or not the Nazi’s actually lost the war after all.

Supporting Caste: 12 new laments, reveries and extrapolations from 4 visibly-aging prairie skids who still cannot believe that of all the gin joints in all the galaxies in all the universes, they had to be born on this one.

Supporting Caste will be released on March 10th, 2009 on G7 Welcoming Committee/Smallman Records.

I had honestly thought they broke up awhile ago, since I hadn't really heard anything. Good to see they're still around.
