Propagandhi in Winnipeg

About the artist

Propagandhi is a Canadian punk band formed in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in 1986 by guitarist Chris Hannah and drummer Jord Samolesky. The band is currently located in Winnipeg, Manitoba and completed by bassist Todd Kowalski and guitarist David Guillas. While their earlier work was aligned with the punk rock and skate punk tradition, in later years Propagandhi records have moved towards a heavier and more technical heavy metal-influenced sound. Both in their lyrics and hands-on activism, the band's members champion various radical left wing causes and veganism, and have taken an active stance against human rights violations, sexism, racism, homophobia, imperialism, capitalism and organized religion.
