So we’re officially announcing the release date for our new record “Supporting Caste”. It’s March 10th, 2009. We’re so excited about it that we even made a professional (-esque) press release for it! Look:

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.

[TakeWarning]

Sounds interesting. I wonder if it'll be like their latest album or like their older stuff.

[StreetlightRock]

Absolutely stoked.

[IgniteYourAvail]

Absolutely stoked.

Came in to say this.

[jebus FX]

hgsklghaslgs I am more excited than YOU are.

[StreetlightRock]

Not to give anything away, but if you guys had any questions that you'd like to see answered by Propaghandi... or specificly Chirs (like, honestly), what would they be?
;)

[MAthiAS]

In dire need of an extensive US tour. Stoked as balls for this album.

[lynch_me]

I love this band, haha. So stokeeeeed.

[lynch_me]

Sounds interesting. I wonder if it'll be like their latest album or like their older stuff.

To my ears the new record seems like it will resemble a nuclear-powered space-age composite of Potemkin City Limits, Less Talk More Rock, Giant Son’s “Anthology” and a carefully measured dose of Today’s Empires Tomorrow’s Ashes!

Apologies to fans of How to Clean Everything. There is nothing for you this year. Making it 16 years in a row now that you’ve stamped your feet and sniveled and whined and pooped your pants in disappointment. Which is unendingly funny to us. Oh, and by “pants”, i mean those giant nofx shorts from 1992. haha

[NMBlack]

i'm super pumped right now. i had no idea about this, but i knew there was a reason that i went on a sudden propagandhi kick recently. i'm telepathic. this is going to be epic

[hendrixonpunk]

I managed to totally forget about these guys. I remember the whole forum worshipped them years ago though.

[Obelisk]

That's sweet of the guys to release it on my birthday.

[TakeWarning]

I managed to totally forget about these guys. I remember the whole forum worshipped them years ago though.

I think we still worship them. :cool:

[hendrixonpunk]

I think we still worship them. :cool:

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it.

[Scuba_Steve]

As much as I love How To Clean Everything, I couldnt care less that this wont sound like that.


Potemkin City Limits was all I would listen to for about a month when it first came out, and this will probably be the same.

totally agree. todays empires is definitely my favorite, but potemkin city limits was that album that made me say "woah." a huge transition, but it worked out very well. as far as i'm concerned, these guys could come out with a show tunes album and i'd still find reason to love it.

[MILF Hunter]

This is great news, cant wait!

[hismajestythepope]

should be cute

[lynch_me]

This is great news, cant wait!

What are you up to now, Dave?

[NewKindofArmy03]

They're finally playing a show in Philly in a few months, can't wait.

[MAthiAS]

They're finally playing a show in Philly in a few months, can't wait.
Wait where is this info coming from?! According to their page they're going to Australia and NZ then to Europe.

[NewKindofArmy03]

They're doing an east coast tour with Paint it Black in March. There's also a Baltimore date.

[lynch_me]

Where did these dates come from?

[MILF Hunter]

What are you up to now, Dave?

Im at uni still, got about a year and a half left. It was my 21st birthday last week, and I went to Belgium for it. Who's still around here? What you been upto?

[NMBlack]

Where did these dates come from?

yes, i'd love more info on this. if propagandhi played an east coast tour i think i'd go to every show i could.

i'd ****ing suck dick to see propagandhi, i need it. and with paint it black? my god...

[IgniteYourAvail]

yes, i'd love more info on this. if propagandhi played an east coast tour i think i'd go to every show i could.

i'd ****ing suck dick to see propagandhi, i need it. and with paint it black? my god...

Where do you live?

[NMBlack]

jersey. i just checked their myspace and there are for sure dates up. i plan on going to the philly and ny shows. this news made my day, and they're playing right around my birthday. sickkkkkkkkkk

[IgniteYourAvail]

you should totally go to the mass show instead of the ny show.

[NMBlack]

mass hmm? i have no experience there. i'd love to though, maybe i'll take a few days off a school. it's a thought. i'm so pumped man, i've loved this band for years and contemplated going to canada to see them since they're cocks and won't ever tour here.

[MAthiAS]

Philly show with Witch Hunt will be dominant.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Bob, I'm probably going to that Philly show (thats the sat one right?). It will have taken me 7 years to finally get a chance to see them.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Yeah, it's a saturday. I can't wait, i've listened to them since 7th grade and I don't think they ever came close to here since then. We'll have to party before/during/afterwards.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I'm down, this show is the only thing I have to look forward to in my life at the moment.

[NMBlack]

im trying to freeze myself and wake up in mid march.

Thanks Reiner.

[TakeWarning]

I....didn't like that new song.

:(

[Transient]

Can anyone give me an idea of what kind of setlist Propagandhi would play at one of their live shows? Going to see them at the end of Feb and I want to memorise every single word so I can maybe be offered the prestigious duty of giving one of the band members a blowjob.

Here is what they played in 2006. I saw them last july and it was similiar but some songs were taken out for the new ones.

[IgniteYourAvail]

I....didn't like that new song.

:(

Why not?

[lynch_me]

I wonder if that song is about Ron mclean wanting to kick Don cherry's ***

[lynch_me]

why Not?

Because It's Changed Like Obama.

Actually it's grown on me. But the intro really annoyed me at first.

[lynch_me]

“I swear I did my best to ensure that his final moments were swift and free from fear. But consideration should be made for the fact that Sandor Katz was my first kill, so I trust the reader will understand that while his screams may well have seemed like conscious objections they were in reality simply a request to honour his strength and speed! With gratitude and tenderness I singed every single hair from his body, gently placed his decapitated head in a stock pot, boiled off his flesh and made a spread-able head cheese! Because I believe that one can only relate with another living creature by completely destroying it! I’m sure Sandor’s friends and family will appreciate this!”
(ahem)
A rationale so moronic it defies belief. Post-vegetarian I must submit to you–respectfully–be careful what kind of world you wish for. Someday it may come knocking on your door.
“Lemme in! LEMME THE **** IN! I just wanna ‘fully relate.’ I swear I’ll do my best to ensure that your final moments are swift and free from fear!”


“On this matter I'm inclined to agree with the French, who gaze upon any personal
dietary prohibition as bad manners.”
–Michael Pollan, author/next “dinner guest” on my list

[Teeb]

Wow. After hearing both of these, I am ridiculously excited for the new album. I was doubtful when they said it had some LTMR sound in the mix, but Humane(e) Meat actually has a sort of pop-punk feel to it. Awesome.

That being said, I'm going to make an effort to not listen to these too much before the album comes out. I listened to Name and Address Withheld and Die Jugend Masrchiert so much before Potemkin City Limits came out that when I finally had the album they sort of felt out of place. Learn from mistakes I suppose.

[ajesusfillet]

Man, i forgot how much I loved this band.

this video pumps me up so much!!

this pretty much

[Lexluthor]

Pretty ****ing amazing record I would say.
Seems to place its self perfectly between their older punky style and their newer thrashy sound.

[Transient]

it's like getting slapped in the face by the swinging **** of punk rawk

[lynch_me]

the bit at the end of 'last will & testament' is really gay but otherwise album rulesss

It's called humor.

[Transient]

yeah but it's not funny

[IgniteYourAvail]

Listened to it all yesterday

Forgot to post how much it rules.

[christsimpson]

it's good. loads of wimpy guitar play, but also loads of badarse guitars. is cool. too long though.

[Teeb]

the bit at the end of 'last will & testament' is really gay but otherwise album rulesss

It's a cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsd6Fjc9MVs

Apparently they also covered it for Somebody Needs a Timeout (Comp of 41 Canadian artists doing children's songs). I'd like to hear that version.


Also, album rules.

[lynch_me]

Wimpy guitars? Too long? Do explain!

wimpy as in not noisy. too long as in too long.

[TakeWarning]

Listening now for the first time.

It's ok, some face-shredding riffz

[lynch_me]

Honestly, the album feels short to me.

[christsimpson]

that's funny. what do you listen to? like name drop five bands you listen a lot to. I think we might find the explanation there.

[iamrockzorz]

that's funny. what do you listen to? like name drop five bands you listen a lot to. I think we might find the explanation there.

you have to know what to expect when coming into a propagandhi album. and by that i mean... you have to expect long songs and a long album. this is kinda short compared to some of their other stuff.

[christsimpson]

it's more than ten minutes longer than Potemkin, and about twenty minutes longer than Clean.

[iamrockzorz]

it's more than ten minutes longer than Potemkin, and about twenty minutes longer than Clean.

Hmm well then I'm wrong. Song structure at times does feel short though... Like this is your life. I don't know. First time through, it seemed to go past a lot faster than Potemkin or Empires

[peber]

****! Im friggin loving this album! Hasnt had time to grow though obviously. And as Propagandhi is one of those bands where the lyrics _really_ matter, i cant wait to get to hold the lp in my arms. And hug it like a very tiny but soft kitten.

[lynch_me]

that's funny. what do you listen to? like name drop five bands you listen a lot to. I think we might find the explanation there.

Haha, I'm not name dropping **** because it's irrelevant. I can listen to Potemkin all the way through no problem, and like you said it's only 10 minutes longer. Maybe I just enjoy the music that much more? I don't know.

I think I know the explanation though: you're a weiner.

[christsimpson]

you're totally right.

[lynch_me]

you're totally right.

I like apples.

[IgniteYourAvail]

I like apples.

Have you ever had apple strawberry banana juice? I know you're all for apple preservation but it's really good.

Haha, I'm not namedropping shi‪t because it's irrelevant. I eat apples all the time no problem, and like you said I like my fruit. Maybe I just enjoy a plethora of flavors in one drink? I don't know.

I think I know the explanation though: Fruit Drinks are good for you.

Also just got my tickets for the Philly show, who else is going?

[TakeWarning]

http://www.mediafire.com/?mnitd4wzjk2

[Teeb]

They listed the album as being 52 minutes, but that's including all of the last track. If you don't include anything after Last Will and Testament, it's pretty much the same length as Potemkin. If you include the hidden track, it's still only about 45. I find it goes by quicker than Potemkin though.

I decided I like this album more than Pokemon City Limits.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

1st track, 2 mins in, metal as ****.

i really only liked Night Letters...the rest of it was okay

[Teeb]

The allmusic.com review of this is painful.

[Cocaine]

Granted, there are still enough elements of their emo past that they won't be confused with Kamelot anytime soon

But there's no denying that the members of Propagandhi are quite adept at their instruments compared to other emo bands

Supporting Caste shows that Propagandhi are not afraid to expand their sound a bit, but the real question is, how far can they go without befuddling their early fans?

I lol'd

[christsimpson]

so yeah Potemkin is better than this new one. also How to Clean Everything is obviously better than any of the newer ones.

[lynch_me]

I find it hard to go back and listen to HTCE. It's a great album, but I'm so much more into the other material. Personally, I wouldn't put it ahead.

[christsimpson]

I Want You 2 Want Me and the bonus tracks crap is tiring, but if you nvm those tracks - the album is amazing. Showdown, Satire, Anti-Manifesto, Stick the Flag... I mean there are nothing but winners on it. the lyrics are iconic and the riffs are catchy. awesome album. easily my favourite.

[NMBlack]

maybe i just become a fanboy of bands overtime, but i've loved this band for so long and i will keep on lovin' em. this is a solid album, and i can't ****ing wait to see them tomorow.

[NMBlack]

such a good show in philly last night, i hope someone else got to enjoy it. tightest live band i've ever seen.

[NewKindofArmy03]

yeah, they were great last night, as was paint it black.

Thought I was missing an album. I had left a blank space to add it in but wound up forgetting about it and deleting the extra ">". It would go after SC and before HTCE.

This is my first album by the band. Pretty kickass although I'm having a bit of problem getting used to the vocals. Will probably make my Top 10 of 2009 list.

Want to get another album from the band, thinking about TE, TA...

It's hard to put my finger on it, to be honest.
It's just, his voice doesn't always seem to harmonize with the music, he seems to enunciate TOO much, and it sounds like he's way too close to his mic.
Like listen to the first 7 seconds of Back To The Motor League.
Maybe it's just the post-production...

But on the other hand, he sounds great on other tracks, like Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes.
It's tricky.

Like I said, it's really hard to put my finger on, but they're unusual sounding at times.

Really high quality video of one of their gigs. It's awesome.

Oh, and Chris Hannah is one of the best vocalists in punk.

I think thats just lackluster recording/mixing.

this.

idk why anyone could think his voice sounds off on some songs, the man is amazing. that was seriously the best show i've ever seen.

edit: i haven't had cable in 2+ weeks, and i watch the live from occupied territory dvd every night. :)

[nevertoolate]

I know not related to their new one but for me Back To The Motor League is one of their most ELITE tracks.

[boundbytransience]

Perhaps I'd have to have grown up with Propagandhi to be used to his vocals.
I grew up with Bad Religion, and a lot of people don't like Greg Graffin's vocals.

I guess it's all relative.

[TakeWarning]

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but I think you're just over-analysing an incredibly simple genre.

[boundbytransience]

Maybe so. It just started out with me saying that I understood how someone thought the vocals were sounded unfamiliar, and it kinda all blew up to an over analytical shitstorm.

Bad Religion got me thru my teens and Greg Graffin's vocals are truly top notch imo.

Definitely agree. Bad Religion was the soundtrack to my years in high school.

[nevertoolate]

man you sound like you had a similar musical journey thru high school. what other bands??

[boundbytransience]

Oh, you know the usual. My friend lent me Punk In Drublic my Freshman year, and it all kinda went from there. I got into Bad Religion, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Gorilla Biscuits, Op Ivy, etc.

[MILF Hunter]

I really cant get into this album :\

[nevertoolate]

y not? it is pretty damn awesome, hella nice artwork on the cover too.

[StrizzMatik]

I have the MoshCam performance ripped and separated into mp3s @ 320kbps if anyone wants it.

Um he's shouting - not singing - and listen to the lyrics, they're completely tongue-in-cheek which is why he sounds like a meathead jackass on that intro.

I think Hannah is one of the best and most distinctive vocalists in punk rock by far, and this album rules.

[boundbytransience]

To each his own, I guess.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I think if this album had a closer as good Purina Hall of Fame, then it would be better than TE,TA. Have not stopped listening to this.

[SkaRobotArmy]

I agree, but I think Iteration was pretty much an equally awesome closer as Purina...
