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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201c<em>Everything I\u2019m singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record&nbsp;\u2018How to Clean Everything\u2019&nbsp;in 1993<\/em>,\u201d Hannah recalls the band\u2019s snarky skate-thrash origins. \u201c<em>But what we\u2019re 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\u2019s the existential dread of eking out a life worth living in this completely failed society<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-1140x1140.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Propagandhi_AtPeace_3kpx-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no mistaking that on their first album in eight years, their frontline social activism has been supplanted by a deeper sense of reflection.

Penned shortly before the American oligarch\u2019s suggestion that Propagandhi\u2019s home country become the U.S.\u2019s 51<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;State, it was then mixed by <strong>Jason Livermore<\/strong> (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\u2019s four members, offering a powerful and poignant portrait of uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though at its core,<em> At Peace<\/em>&nbsp;is Propagandhi\u2019s plea for hope against hopelessness.&nbsp;\u201c<em>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<\/em>,\u201d says&nbsp;Chris. \u201c<em>I don\u2019t think that exists much in our music anymore and I don\u2019t believe that mobilization is forthcoming.
