Timbuktu – Budskapet
Det här är inget brev, det är en kommentar från en upprörd medborgare. Politiska åsikter må gå isär, men mitt hjärta sitter där det gör och min övertygelse likaså. Vi behöver vision, drömmar och mål. Vi behöver ledare. Ledare som inte är rädda för att möta folket. Ledare som bryr sej om befolkningen och som på riktigt bryr sej om vart Sverige är på väg. Vi behöver ett så jämlikt utgångsläge för så många som möjligt. Vi behöver varandra. Det här är Budskapet.

Propagandhi finally back in Sweden
After a long hiatus we are happy to announce that punk legends Propagandhi finally will make their comeback to Sweden.
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.
