Just saw em in Los Angeles tonight, first time ever, I usually have to travel to OC or Pomoy to see them. Propagandhi is honestly probably the best band ever. Each album they keep showing they're musically just better than everyone else out there.
@@mikeg3950 When Your Fears Collide made the hair on my arms stand up when I first heard it. Todd's songs on this album are very powerful and very emotional. His vocal performance really hammers it home too.
I can honestly say I’ve seen Propagandhi at a gig with less than 30 people in attendance . I don’t really listen to punk anymore but THIS album I will check out.
Propaghandi has always been a different breed of punk/rock......in a good way and they.maintained to stay underground there good at what they do and its different.then most.generic bands out there for a change.
Propagandhi is a flawless band. Even their lyrics from How to Clean Everything are still relevant. Thanks for giving punk some love guys, I really hope Propagandhi is added to the punk branch in the family tree, they have a lot of metal influences.
Honestly i havent really been into propagandhi since potemkin city limits and supporting caste, (both of which are amongst my all time favourite albums), but this review got me amped to give this new album a go, thank you banger, thank you Blayne.
I've seen a lot of metal heads diss punk music and i can never get my head around why. Good punk rock like Propagandhi, Pennywise, NOFX and Hot Water Music is full of energy, tight riffs and galloping drums - a lot of the same qualities which good metal has. Anyway, funny ass review as usual, keep 'em coming!
Whiny vocals, i'm assuming you mean stuff like Green Day and Blink 182. Those kinds of bands are the punk equivalent of metal bands like 5 finger death punch and Avenged sevenfold, don't let them put you off there's some cool shit out there.
Serpico's Beard I definitely agree. There is some whiny, snotty shit out there in punk land. Also, though, there's shit out there like NOFX's The Decline, which I challenge anyone to listen to and not dig. Also, check out bands like Echonochrist or Born Against. Also bands like SNFU, or Bad Religion (3/4 of whose long and storied catalogue is totally fucking rad). Never understood the divide between punk and metal, either. Big fan of both.
For me it's the vocals and the lack of groove. I have nothing against punk in theory but I haven't heard much of it that I enjoy cause of the vocal and rhythmic style.
Not to mention the examples he mentioned above is the minority. Punk bands are more about idealism rather than technique, melodies, and instrumentation...ya know ...music. They come off as slightly juvenile to me...
Holy shite where'd you get that Born Against shirt? I want I want. I'm from Virginia and they are a punk staple down there. especially when they moved to Richmond
This is a really cool review! Plus this is the best punk band of all time in my opinion. Great album start to finish. Great review going in and out of audio clips from the album! 10/10 for both!
*Who would dislike a Propagandhi review? People must lack knowledge of over-all modern crossover fueled skatepunk with classic metal stylings. Propagandhi shreds, and is an instant legendary act that will go down in history. They are silence Canadian dudes/chick that are as calm as a sloth, but absolute ANNIHILATE their guitars when they perform, im pumped up to see them; they're coming to Vegas, and im looking forward to it.* btw Great Review!!
if you think Propagandhi doesn't deserve to be reviewed in a metal channel, listen to the song "Failed States" or "Night Letters". If you don't think Propagandhi is Punk, listen to "Hadron Collision" or "Purina Hall of Fame" and get back to me.
That dog umbrella!!! Punk was my first love before metal even but from what I heard this isn't my kind of punk I prefer dead boys, filth, Johnny thunders, anti nowhere league etc.
It's nice to see some punkish reviews.The band has a lot of metal in their music, it's like Anarcho Punk Metal, nice band, nice review. Maybe this is a start of more punk metal, crust and hardcore reviews and topics! Cheers
I remember getting "How To Clean Everything" when it first came out and it's a damn good release that still holds up. I honestly had no idea they were still around because I haven't really 'kept up' with the punk scene over the years but it's cool to hear they're still kickin'. Just might have to check this one out....
Loads of headbangers started out listening to hardcore punk. People only call Propagandhi a "punk" band because they have records out on infamous shit parades like Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph etc. They're popularly associated with that whole tedious SoCal world of goofy 90s skate punk bands but they were never part of it if you get right down to it. No Warped Tours, no Converse sneaker endorsements, none of that stupid horseshit. Lyrically you get Priest references, King Diamond references, Venom references, Sacrifice references, Voivod references. Musically they're closer to some kind of hardcore/heavy metal weirdness than generic punk rock. They did a couple of early records that sound closer to punk but that's true of heaps of 'pure' metal bands too. They're only a 'punk' band to people who accept anything that Fat Mike tells them is punk. And spoiler alert, that guy just wants your money.
Never thought of them as punk. Too much "good" musicianship involved, which is sort of antithetical to punk. But, definitely not metal of course. Sort of a mix of a bunch of things with a hard edge. That being said it's good stuff. Solid release. Great review.
Glenn LaVertu Its changed a lot in Punk music from late 70's, Good musican ship in Punk shit is nothing surpassing from long time. Going to from Metal in Punk, Metal influencees in Punk existing from 80's and saved to present time.
BangerTV's "All Metal Always" tag doesn't seem so accurate anymore. The Venom poster hanging on the wall in the music video is cool, though. While I'm nitpicking, it'd be nice if the band's name were spelled correctly on the song title overlays.
Thanks for the feedback. Ya, we're doing penance for the typo. As for punk v. metal on the channel, with 2 reviews a week now we're aiming to cover more Canadian bands, and throwing in some surprises to see what our viewers respond to. Don't worry there will always be plenty of metal here!
A lot of metal heads tend to be pretty shallow in their musical diversity, so it's great to see a punk rock review in here...even if it is poppy punk. Don't get me wrong, I've liked Propaghandi since the mid 90s, but would love to see more raw punk rock stuff or at least Crossover...yes, more crossover please! The Accused! Toe Tag! Lich King!
Hilarious review! Granted this is not my kind of music but I have to ask why this record? When there is so many new metal albums that have not been reviewed.
Thanks for the review. I havent heard PROPAGANDHI in ages. I had a PROPAGANDHI 7" when I was in high school. The cover was a black and white photo of the back side of a naked dude with a drumstick in his ass. Had a hard time explaining that one to my parents, for sure.
Best/funniest review EVER! That being said, I remember listening to How to Clean Everything back in the day, and holy shit has their sound changed. Not sure if better/worse, but definitely different.
Best Band on the planet. It's not close. This is maybe their best record. Can't believe they keep getting better.
Just saw em in Los Angeles tonight, first time ever, I usually have to travel to OC or Pomoy to see them. Propagandhi is honestly probably the best band ever. Each album they keep showing they're musically just better than everyone else out there.
"Back to the motor league!!!"
Why had i never heard of this band?! They're like a Canadian Bad Religion! Loved that review. Thanks for a new band discovery
You've got a lot of awesome homework to catch up on!
but that's exciting isn't it?! i blame it on not having many friends into punk or metal but good thing for Overkill Reviews :)
Rocio Iribe thats an insult,not every propaghandi songs exactly the same like bad religion songs do
Technically prop its oh so greater than bad
Canadian Bad Religion? LOL WHUT
I know Nigredo isn't the most conventional Propagandhi song, but I found it incredibly powerful and it's one of my favorite songs on the record.
BradJones agree. Also when all your fears collide is amazing
Every Todd song is the best song ever made.

Extremely underrated band :(

Propagandhi is the greatest band on the planet. This album rips so hard.
Amen! This album rocks!
Good night left side.
Cam word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏼
Propagandhi is a flawless band. Even their lyrics from How to Clean Everything are still relevant. Thanks for giving punk some love guys, I really hope Propagandhi is added to the punk branch in the family tree, they have a lot of metal influences.
Clayton Biscalchini fave band of all time
lol, you make albums I don't give a shit about entertaining to hear a review on. Well done.
Hahaha, exactly that! :D
I’m 4 years late but come on man
For sure one of the best albums of the year. Killer all the way,
I would watch you review a cardboard box.
Honestly i havent really been into propagandhi since potemkin city limits and supporting caste, (both of which are amongst my all time favourite albums), but this review got me amped to give this new album a go, thank you banger, thank you Blayne.

Anyway, funny ass review as usual, keep 'em coming!
you forgot to mention the whiny vocals and overly political lyrics that get boring very fast

Blayne, you get me interested in these bands thanks to you're reviews. I love it man. I don't listen to punk. But I'm checking out this album.
Holy shite where'd you get that Born Against shirt? I want I want. I'm from Virginia and they are a punk staple down there. especially when they moved to Richmond
This is a really cool review! Plus this is the best punk band of all time in my opinion. Great album start to finish. Great review going in and out of audio clips from the album! 10/10 for both!
best band that ever existed! I can tell u love them too cause of the born against tee. only true fans like yourself know what I'm talking about! ;)
Even as much as I don't like propaganda bands at times. This reviewer can make me like Any band.
megaman exe in what way is this Shitty ass band, considered punk?????? Propaganda or whatever they call themselves fuckin sucks!!!!!!!!!
The first album was punk.
me25422 didn't he say they've been around 4 a long time?
hahahahahahahahahahahaha your father should be ashamed of you!
chalkdealer jokes on you never seen my father
Hey! Love seeing Propagandhi getting some love. Always nice to see my hometown band get some recognition. They're great.
One of my favorite bands for years.
Great album! I'm actually laughing at all the metal elitists who hate this! Blayne is hilarious and the best reviewer on BANGER!

First time watching anything from this channel, hugely entertaining review

I love this album... but I love Propagandhi... so..
Fantastic album. Glad to see you guys covering them. :)
fucking sick sick band....love this new release to bits....!..
zachreen zakariah me too. This record is fucking amazing.
I remember getting "How To Clean Everything" when it first came out and it's a damn good release that still holds up. I honestly had no idea they were still around because I haven't really 'kept up' with the punk scene over the years but it's cool to hear they're still kickin'.

I remember seeing them at Lucy's records in Nashville in like '97 or so. It was great.
I like punk and heavy metal bands, but PROPAGANDHI ain't my style, though I do see the appeal they have. Great review, Blayne!
That One Guy best style ever!
Awesome man. Good job and ill take a look at your other videos now...Very glad you like the new album. Cheers hombre.
I'm normally not a fan of modern punk, but this is impressive. Also, nice shout out to the bass player 👌
Best band on the planet period. They are unmatched in all aspects
More reviews from Blayne - they are all so great!
propagandhi fucking rules. nice review!
Victory lap is the best record in the last 15 years
After Supporting Caste
Anyone know where that bridge is at? Looks like one where I live.
The only failure of this album is it should have been called Victory Lapse. I would have liked that.
More melody in this batch of songs, I’m enjoying it!
Dude, that intro was hilarious.

IN the band photo early on SuLynne has got a Voivod t-shirt and Rod is wearing a Suffocation t-shirt
Does being a vegan mean you have to eat your t-shirt sleeves?
Im not oppose to punk; sometimes its a hit or miss. Never heard of this band but they sound awesome! Nice review Blayne!
Another great review from Blayne, love this guy he is so awesome
I'll allways remember Stick to your Guns pulling up, wearing almost all Propagandhi shirts.
Thumbs up for that Born Against Shirt...long not seen one...
5 out of 5 skulls. 💙
3:50 Thumbs up, Blayne!
Bass player here!
queue mandatory punk vs metal comments on literally EVERY propagandhi video xD
what is a vegan
A person from the Norwegian island called Vega.
Someone who makes their diet the focal point of their life, and the cornerstone of their personality.
Haha
A sandwich
Ænimal Sawchains me and Blayne
I want another album from them!!!
Love the record and love Blayne's comedy and wit during his reviews - keep up the good work buddy!
why is there album cover the roller coaster that fell in the water in seaside NJ
A good question. Lots could be read into such imagery while taking in the lyrics.
Propaghandi rules! This album was my favorite of the year.
You guys totally spaced out on the New Contortionist album Clairvoyant.
I didn't know that band still exists. Any Nasum fans here?
You betcha.
Hell yeah
Amazing review again! Thanks dude!
Never thought of them as punk. Too much "good" musicianship involved, which is sort of antithetical to punk. But, definitely not metal of course. Sort of a mix of a bunch of things with a hard edge.
That being said it's good stuff. Solid release. Great review.
Glenn LaVertu Its changed a lot in Punk music from late 70's, Good musican ship in Punk shit is nothing surpassing from long time.
Going to from Metal in Punk, Metal influencees in Punk existing from 80's and saved to present time.
Sounds great....also biased Winnipegger here.
Blayne is vegan? As if I could love this guy more.
thumbs up for your born against shirt.
Belphegor - Totenritual? Entrails - World Inferno?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you guys dipped th ball slipping over Elder's last effort! All good though, keep up the good work.
BangerTV's "All Metal Always" tag doesn't seem so accurate anymore. The Venom poster hanging on the wall in the music video is cool, though. While I'm nitpicking, it'd be nice if the band's name were spelled correctly on the song title overlays.

Great band. Fusion of punk, hardcore, and metal
Like the songs but don't know if this would be close to punk. Also where did you get that dog umbrella?
what a great fucking review.
they are also the reason why I am vegan. they and Refused... cuz I'm from sweden.
Laughed all the way through this.
Ahhh Propaganhi.... probably the only band that never had a bad album.
Winnipeg represent!!
Propagandhi cannot put out a bad album.
Not mad. Love this band. Saw them a bunch of times in Toronto back in the 90s. Classic band.
5 points plus
This guy... this guy knows how to review albums. I trust you my friend!! Thank you.
A lot of metal heads tend to be pretty shallow in their musical diversity, so it's great to see a punk rock review in here...even if it is poppy punk. Don't get me wrong, I've liked Propaghandi since the mid 90s, but would love to see more raw punk rock stuff or at least Crossover...yes, more crossover please! The Accused! Toe Tag! Lich King!
Far far far from pop punk.
Propagandhi has hooks but by no means is this pop punk. They're basically a thrash band at this point.
Denial Fiend!
Hilarious review! Granted this is not my kind of music but I have to ask why this record? When there is so many new metal albums that have not been reviewed.
#BassPlayersLinesMatter!!!!! XD
Love this band!!!
Your fucking hilarious. Great review
neat ink ma boi
H after D before I
Is it possible that you write Propagandhi right in this video? :-D No matter what track, it always says Propaghandi, which is wrong. :-(
We spelled it wrong. We are sorry!
coool! I didn't know u guys reviewed punk albums!
There's a lot of Anthrax in the new Propagandhi.
that bod
so funny man I love this guy！
Thanks for the review. I havent heard PROPAGANDHI in ages.
I had a PROPAGANDHI 7" when I was in high school. The cover was a black and white photo of the back side of a naked dude with a drumstick in his ass. Had a hard time explaining that one to my parents, for sure.
it kind of reminds me of Bad Religion...
Dude cracks me up!!
its an epic record.
how to clean everything is still better.
Best/funniest review EVER! That being said, I remember listening to How to Clean Everything back in the day, and holy shit has their sound changed. Not sure if better/worse, but definitely different.
Vegan Canadian Jesus with questionable musical tastes is our (ears) savior.
All Metal, Always?
🤔 Though this is a pretty metal punk album
propagandhi is the best. you don't have to justify shit to anybody. they aren't even a punk band. they're just propagandhi.
Good stuff. I don't like a lot of punk, but when I do, it clearly has metal roots as Propagandhi does.
