Propagandhi Deliver New Album ‘At Peace’ Out Now Via Epitaph
Propagandhi Deliver New Album ‘At Peace’ Out Now Via Epitaph
WATCH Lyric Video For “No Longer Young”
Reconstruction Tour Starts May 16th in Barcelona
“A phenomenal album that, while not their loudest or fastest, is one of their most important.” Kerrang!
“Part-punk, part-metal and entirely done with the way society’s going, Propagandhi are outsiders to the core. And life feels just that bit more logical when they tackle its disarray.” Louder/Metal Hammer
“Politically charged and just as bold as the rest of their back catalogue, ‘At Peace’ is the next essential chapter in Propagandhi’s manifesto.” Punktastic
“We’re definitely not a band that responds well to someone telling us we need to put something out,” Propagandhi frontman Chris Hannah quips. “That happens when we have something to talk about – and now is definitely the time for that.” In true Propagandhi fashion, their new record ‘At Peace’ is smart music for dangerous times. Out now via Epitaph Records, listen to it in full HERE.

The band also shares the official lyric video to focus track “No Longer Young” which bassist Todd Kowalski adds, "This song is about the search to find or revive one's true spirit despite the pressure and negativity of the present world, and hopefully it’s a little inspiration to keep on working towards a more just world. It's also a reminder that no one is any better than anyone else, in the end we all return to dust."

The ever-evolving standard-bearers of politically charged punk have actively kicked against musical confines and bro-punk conservatism, promoting a message of anti-fascism since 1986. Distilling their DNA of breakneck riffs, hardcore ethos, and radical consciousness, their message remains as vital, and volatile, as ever.
“Everything I’m singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record ‘How to Clean Everything’ in 1993,” Hannah recalls the band’s snarky skate-thrash origins. “But what we’re putting into the songs now, probably reflects more despair than 30 years ago when we had similar perspectives, but with strands of hope and naivete. Now it’s the existential dread of eking out a life worth living in this completely failed society.”
Marking their first release since 2017’s Victory Lap, At Peace was forged during the ominous political climate in the months before “Emperor” Trump’s ascent to power. Penned shortly before the American oligarch’s suggestion that Propagandhi’s home country become the U.S.’s 51st State, it was then mixed by Jason Livermore (Rise Against, Hot Water Music) at Blasting Room Studios in December 2024. This collection of poetic and polemic songs captures the anxieties and turmoil of the band’s four members, offering a powerful and poignant portrait of uncertainty.
Though at its core, At Peace is Propagandhi’s plea for hope against hopelessness. “Twenty years ago, we had a sense that things are fucked but that there could be a mass mobilization of people against the oligarchy, the billionaire class,” says Chris. “I don’t think that exists much in our music anymore and I don’t believe that mobilization is forthcoming. I hope to be proven wrong.”
The band will be touring in Europe this month as part of the RECONSTRUCTION TOUR 2025 (also ft. Pennywise, Comeback Kid, The Iron Roses and Dead Pioneers. And with special guests Madball in Barcelona, Wizo in Augsburg and Dritte Wahl in Berlin)
