Propagandhi “hard at work” on new record

Contributed by crackpotdemagogue. Posted by adam on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

It's not a very informative update but I doubt many of you will mind. Todd Kowalski of Winnipeg's Propagandhi posted a brief update on the band's next record:

We are very, very hard at work on writing songs for our new record. It is going extremely well. We are literally spending almost every moment we are awake working on them. We are having a blast!! Time is the only enemy!!! Yikes!!!!!!

The band previously announced plans to hit the studio in October to record the follow up to 2005's Potemkin City Limits.

If you are really Chris Hannah you should cruise on over to our Myspace page and you can see some pictures of yourself rocking out in a bathrobe.

ps. We couldn't transcribe the interview because you're a low talker and the tape recorder wasn't close enough. You were great though... one of the most enjoyable interviews we ever did. I almost cried when I got home and put in the tape and couldn't make out anything you were saying. It was like 45 minutes long too. fuck.
