Propagandhi: Less Talk, More Rock (30th anniversary, olive green vinyl) [FAT WRECK CHORDS]

Why you'll love it

Winnipeg's finest troublemakers at their most confrontational. Propagandhi's second album packs 14 songs into under 26 minutes of furious skate punk with something to say, from "Apparently, I'm A 'P.C. Fascist'" to "Refusing To Be A Man". It was also John K. Samson's last album with the band before he formed The Weakerthans.

About the album

Produced by Ryan Greene and released by Fat Wreck Chords in 1996, it was a deliberate statement: guitarist Chris Hannah said the band wanted to scare off the jocks in their audience, starting with the words "gay-positive" on the cover, a repurposed 1984 Calgary Stampede poster.

Fast, smart and still angry. A Canadian punk essential.
