(UPDATED) Propagandhi Job Posting! Wanted: Guitarist/ Beaver Impersonator!

[UPDATE: holy fuck peo­ple, we’ve had over 400 inquiries about this in just 3 days, from all over the damn plan­et. amaz­ing and daunt­ing. this might take a while to get through, so please be patient. it seems like a lot of peo­ple are ask­ing what it is we’re look­ing for specif­i­cal­ly. i sup­pose most impor­tant­ly we’d like to see footage of folks play­ing, say, any two of the fol­low­ing songs for starters: Night Let­ters, Sta­tus Update, Dupli­cate Keys, Note to Self, Failed States. Specif­i­cal­ly Beave’s parts of course, includ­ing things like his tasty vol­ume swells, his beau­ti­ful­ly timed delays and deep-woods ambi­ence flour­ish­es (atmos­phere is a huge part of Beave’s game. If you don’t got it, you bet­ter have some­thing else wicked up your sleeve­less). It’s fine to play along to the record in your video, but we’d like to hear your gui­tar loud and clear. if you can do a ver­sion with­out any back­ing music, that would be help­ful too. If you’re feel­ing real­ly randy, throw in some of the back­ing vocals while you’re at it for extra punk points. we’d also like to see some live per­for­mance footage of you in oth­er bands if applic­a­ble. maybe tell us a lit­tle about your­self and recount your pre­vi­ous live/​tour expe­ri­ence. that kind of stuff. 

if this sounds like a lot of work, well wel­come to our world mah-fah. this ain’t a fuckin pop punk band. 

ps. if you can fig­ure the songs out per­fect­ly by ear, wow. good for you. i sure as hell could­n’t! and if you can’t either, well, sheet hap­pens sells dig­i­tal tabs of the records those songs are on and no, we don’t expect any­one to actu­al­ly buy our tabs as a pre­req­ui­site just an option if you need it and want to real­ly make a most tubu­lar impres­sion! UPDATE COM­PLETE. DISENGAGE.]

hey peo­ple! well, the day we have been in denial about for years has final­ly arrived and start­ing this Sep­tem­ber (2015), our beloved Beaver won’t be able to join us on the road to melt faces with his 6 string stack attack any­more. it is a sad real­i­ty, but let’s turn these frowns upside down and whip this into an excit­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty! Do you play gui­tar? Are you famil­iar with our music? Have you felt like you’ve been liv­ing in a ding­bat-clown-idiot soci­ety since you were a lit­tle kid and always hoped your real par­ents from Rigel 7 would come res­cue you? Well, then get at us ASAP! Women are strong­ly encour­aged to apply!

So Fat Wreck Chords is hav­ing a 25^th anniver­sary cel­e­bra­tion this year and in an amaz­ing stroke of luck, they for­got that we’re not on the label any­more, and they have invit­ed us to come play at it! Sa-weet! If you hap­pen to be in the Bay Area in late August, come on down to hear us only play brand new songs that no one’s ever heard before and just be a gen­er­al buz­zkill. Nnnaayyy­hh, just kid­ding. It’ll be a good time and every­body bet­ter bring their A game, cuz we won’t be fuckin around!

Supporting Caste on bandcamp!!!!

howdy-doo­dy there folks! I have good news and i have bad news. First, the world is a toi­let and we’re all pieces of shit. Now the bad news. Just kid­ding! Only good news today! Today, we, Pro­pa­gand­hi, have become sole pro­pri­etors of the dig­i­tal ver­sion of the world famous long-play­ing record album ​“Sup­port­ing Caste”. Now, if you’ve ever thought to your­self ​“self, how the hell do i go about buy­ing a Pro­pa­gand­hi record direct­ly from the band with­out a mid­dle per­son grub­bing all the mon­ey and with­out actu­al­ly hav­ing to be with­in touching/​smelling dis­tance of the pieces of garbage in the band?” well my friend your prayers have been answered! Vis­it our band­camp page and unleash your cup if it doth over­floweth. Thank you for glistening. 

I Heard You Singing

Over the past decade, i’ve often choked back tears while lis­ten­ing to the songs of Van­cou­ver’s The Rebel Spell. It’s going to be even hard­er to lis­ten to those songs now… 

“It is our deep­est regret to inform you all that on Sat­ur­day, March 7^th, we lost our good friend and lead singer Todd Seri­ous, also known as Todd Jenk­ins, in a trag­ic rock climb­ing acci­dent. Todd influ­enced our lives in a way that is beyond com­pre­hen­sion. This is com­plete­ly sud­den and unex­pect­ed and we’re still pro­cess­ing what has hap­pened. We’re tak­ing a few days to fig­ure it all out. This is pret­ty heavy for all of us, and a lot of peo­ple are still find­ing out so if you’re let­ting oth­ers know, please be respectful.”

Our deep­est con­do­lences to his friends, his fam­i­ly and the Van­cou­ver punk scene. I imag­ine there will be a large hole left in the wake of this. 

It is my opin­ion that The Rebel Spell are an unher­ald­ed nation­al trea­sure, the best and last of a great tra­di­tion of true punk rock in Cana­da. They are one of the few mod­ern bands i look to for inspi­ra­tion. I felt a very, very strong con­nec­tion to Tod­d’s words and his world­view. I feel grate­ful to have encoun­tered him. 

His spir­it lives on. 

RIP Todd Serious
