After three decades of being politically outspoken and five classic punk albums its now time for album no. 6. The album is entitled “Failed States” and will surely be one of the bands most beloved. Mixing their deep punk roots with their new love for progressive rock, “Failed States” is a beautiful mix of everything that the band stands for.To be able to have great musical variations yet never go out of character is one of the biggest test for established bands, but with “Failed States”, Propagandhi makes sure to not only satisfy the old fans but to gain the love of a new punk loving generation.
Two long sought after shows are officially booked. First of is a gig at the Swedish festival “Putte i Parken” only to be followed by an epic night at Sticky Fingers in Gothenburg.
