Canadian punk legends Propagandhi <\/strong>today broke their eight-year hiatus with the announcement of a new album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

At Peace<\/em> – their first release since 2017’s Victory Lap<\/em> – will be released on May 2nd via Epitaph Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album was forged during the ominous political climate in the months before Trump\u2019s ascent to power in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncertainty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Penned shortly before the American oligarch\u2019s suggestion that Propagandhi\u2019s home country become the US\u2019s 51st state, it was then mixed by Jason Livermore (Rise Against, Hot Water Music) at Blasting Room Studios in December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection of poetic and polemic songs captures the anxieties and turmoil of the band\u2019s four members, offering a powerful and poignant portrait of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with the album announcement, the title track has been released as the album’s lead single, with its own animated lyric video.<\/p>\n\n\n

Guitarist and vocalist Chris Hannah said: \u201cSpeaking for myself, this record might be a snapshot of me deciding whether I\u2019m going to live out the rest of my life as Eckhart Tolle or live out the rest of my life as Ted Kaczynski.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In true Propagandhi fashion, At Peace<\/em> is smart music for dangerous times. The ever-evolving standard-bearers of politically-charged punk have actively kicked against musical confines and bro-punk conservatism, promoting a message of anti-fascism since 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volatile message<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Distilling their DNA of breakneck riffs, hardcore ethos, and radical consciousness, their message remains as vital, and volatile, as ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything I\u2019m singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record How To Clean Everything<\/em> in 1993,\u201d says Hannah, recalling the band\u2019s snarky skate-thrash origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
