Propagandhi working on next album

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Monday, November 2, 2009 at 5:30 PM (EST)

In a recent interview, Propagandhi bassist Todd Kowalski said that they were working on some new songs for their follow up to 2009's Supporting Caste:

We've got twelve songs, pieces of twelve songs going already; like pretty far into them.

He also talked about some hopes for future touring destinations in support of Supporting Caste:

We might go to China, we're not sure yet. We've been wanting to go to Mexico, China, South Africa and Eastern Europe – like Croatia and those places.

Check out the interview here.

by get over themselves do you mean do something really hip and cool like wear makeup and talk about how drunk they are or how many drugs they can take? that would be cool.

They did, in 1993. Why would they make the same album again?

Report

baldsteve (November 2, 2009)

Are you kidding? They have never ever done anything that can be even closely considered "emo".

Report

TheProblemWithFire (November 2, 2009)

emo? really? you need a new set of ears.

HTCE is an important release with some really great stuff on it (anti-manifesto, stick the fucking flag, haille sellasse), but comes nowhere close to the greatness of TETA (the greatest political thrash punk album ever made), SC or even LTMR. Lyrically it's still cool, but it sounds like your average 90s nofx skatepunk sounds that has been done to death. They will never play that style again and it would be a shame if they did.

Report

returnofdebs (November 3, 2009)

at the milwaukee show they finished with anti-manifesto and right before starting chris said "now we will appeal to the lowest common denominator."

Report

mikexdude (November 2, 2009)

Hopefully on this next album they take those awesome riffs, time signatures and great lyrics and create some memorable hooks or choruses -- you know, actually write songs this time.

tell that to the new Polar Bear Club sans Light Of Local Eyes

Report

mikexdude (November 2, 2009)

You're funny, because the way I see it is that PBC was concentrating TOO much on writing hooks and stuff than putting the detail they usually do. So that's the opposite of what I said about prop.

Report

TheProblemWithFire (November 2, 2009)

you mean polar bear club, right? cuz chasing hamburg was a bore, with the exception of a couple songs. and i really enjoy that band.

Report

mikexdude (November 2, 2009)

Just like the dude above, you misunderstood my critique. I didn't say that it was boring, there is just a very little sense of song. Though, I guess it is a little boring.

Keep trying on PBC it grew on me.

The more I listen to Chasing Hamburg, the more I don't want to hear it at all. It got old surprisingly fast.

JerryCola (November 2, 2009)

I think Supporting Caste has a ton of memorable hooks...

As for the "memorable choruses" comment I don't really get that because if you look at any Propagandhi album they've never really been a 'verse, chorus, verse' type band.

Report

mikexdude (November 2, 2009)

I wasn't talking about structure... You can have on chorus and make it memorable... Or one hook...

Report

JerryCola (November 2, 2009)

did we listen to the same Supporting Caste? cause there are so many memorable hooks and lyrical melodies on that album.

Did you like TETA and PCL?
