Kendra Sheetz Manitoba, Canada’s Propagandhi is back with their newest single. “Cat Guy” will be featured on the band’s upcoming album, At Peace, out May 2nd via Epitaph Records. In true Propagandhi fashion, At Peace is smart music for dangerous times. Marking their first release since 2017’s Victory Lap, At Peace was forged during the ominous political climate in the months before 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.
Frontman Chris Hannah shared the following about inspiration for the new release:
“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. 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.”
He continued:
“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. 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.”
