Propagandhi is seriously the greatest punk band there is. Their musicianship is incredible and their lyrics are probably the most insightful and intelligent you'll get from any punk band. Hell, any band in general. Their music and lyrics were life changing for me.

Their song “Night Letters” is EXACTLY what you’re looking for in terms of contrast to this song to really show the depth of their discography. Good tempo/vibe changes and some absolutely killer riffs in a heavier almost prog-punk-hardcore I don’t even know what you’d call it lol. Also, for a bonus, it’s part of the small group of songs that Todd sings instead of Chris. And maybe as a bonus, you could do a double and throw in “Hadron Collision” which is just a like 1 minute ripper that borders on thrash lol.

Propagandhi's my all time favorite band. The bassist was John K. Samson (The Weakerthans) for their first 2 Albums, when they were a lot closer to one of those kinda goofy skatepunk-bands. When Todd came in for their 3rd album "Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes", they became a lot more unique and technical in their style and sound and every follow-up is kind of a natural evolvement from it's predecessor. I think "Supporting Caste" is a fan favorite. I personally can not pick a favorite. It usually takes them 6-7 years to put out a new one, though. The singer and guitarist/main songwriter Chris Hannah is the most talented musician I can think of in that genre, and his lyrics are a poetic deep-dive into history and philosophy, requiring a lot of background knowledge to acurately interpret. Sorry...but I'm so enthusiastic about them. I'd recommend "Last will and testament" from supporting caste, which is a little different from their thrashier side with an incredibly melodic bassline, or "Purina hall of fame" from Today's empires, which is extremely straight forward.

But as other commentors have noted, Prop has just gotten better and better over the years. 'Less Talk, More Rock' is one of my favorite albums ever, and while 'Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes' was a new shift in sonic style with Todd in the mix, 'Potemkin City Limits' is when they found a new gear and through to 'Victory Lap' have just been on another level. My two cents and all.

I personally wouldn't consider him an outstanding bass player, but the fact that he started from almost zero and made his way up to being a pretty good bassist is respectable. Also, if you're looking for a heavy album, Suppprting Caste and especially Failed States would take the title.

Their first couple of albums, “How to Clean Everything” and “Less Talk, More Rock”, in my opinion, were more straight punk, but you could hear the thrash and hardcore influences. When I first listened to “Todays Empire, Tomorrows Ashes” I really noticed the change in their sound. Much more hardcore and metal sounding. It’s like they became really serious, after the light- hearted first couple albums. “Mate Ka Moris Ukun Rasil An” is the first track from “Todays empires, Tomorrows Ashes,” and it sets the tone for everything afterwards. The bass is good too!! Another great video in your punk journey. It’s exciting to watch you listen to these songs for the first time!!

Now I’m convinced he uses a pick the whole song, except for the little bass solo near the end. The couple times his right hand is shown, it looks like he’s picking, but when he’s playing with his fingers, during the (solo) you can see his pick in his mouth.

Nation States is my favorite one by these guys. I believe the full title is "And We Thought the Nation States Were a Bad Idea"

I highly recommend The Rezillos "Flying Saucer Attack", or the entire album, lol. The bassist is absolutely amazing. not flashy, but his bass lines couldn't compliment the songs any better. a huge influence on my playing.

Yes! You made it to Propagandhi, welcome to the club. I'd suggest the song A Speculative Fiction next.

the first of their heavier album when Todd joined the band, Today's Empires Tomorrows Ashes is one of my favorites check out the track Purina hall of fame

Last Will And Testament gets my recommendation by them - it's long because of hidden bonus track just in case you are expecting another like "The Decline"

Definitely. It's hard to pick a favorite Propagandhi song but this might be mine.

I met Sulynn in Tampa probably... 18 years ago or so? Her band The Filthy Nomads opened up for another local band. There must have been... 15 people in the bar at the time. She's always been so fucking cool. When she told me that she'd started playing with Propagandhi, I couldn't freaking believe it. Still blows my mind seeing her up there.

Their whole album Supporting Cast(e) is a masterpiece.
@fc_wade69715 ай бұрын
They are extremely particular of their sound and what goes on the albums. So it takes them a bit for new albums and it’s a great treat when they release. Plus they have families and lives that take priority, which is completely understandable.

Love this channel huge fan. A hardcore and punk fan also growing up I listened to a lot of "low rider" oldies because of my Hispanic Chicano background. With that said there's a band called Thee Sacred Souls. Yes a complete different vibe, but the bassist is so good and I feel underrated. If you listen to their song "Future Lover" that song is worthy. Anyway don't expect you'll see this, but if you do this song has a killer baseline if you do get a chance. Much love keep making these videos they're the shit.

Potemkin City Limits is a masterpiece. Everyone in that band is a beast. You can listen to that album and just focus on bass. Then listen again for drums. Lather rinse repeat.

That record hasn't left my car since 2017. (Yes, I still buy CDs.) They've been one of my favorite bands since ~1994. Chris is such an amazing guitarist (see: Dear Coach's Corner). I'm sure 2,000 people have already mentioned this, but an imagineer is a Disney employee.

I was just listening to Propagandhi last night! Great Anarchist band.

Regarding Night Letters… I see a lot of people asking for it, and it’s a great song, especially rhythmically, but I’m not sure it’s super interesting for bass note selection. It IS one of their heaviest songs, so you’d get that side of them. For bass you’d do better with Last Will & Testament or Unscripted Moments, IMO. That said, I did suggest imagineer, so what do I know.

Album wise, How to Clean Everything is my favorite and one of the early ones. Today's Empire's Tomorrow's Ashes is a heavier one.

Had the chance to chat a lot with Todd after a show right after the release of Potemkin City Limit. Very friendly dude who's a huge music fan. I think we chatted for a good half hour just about music. The band have very broad influences and it shows throughout their career. Loved that you noticed the emphasis on the lyrics. Chris writes some incredible stuff that are still relevant 30 years after release and put a lot of thought on the music he writes to fit the emotions and the messages conveyed. If you ever want to do a react about a whole song instead of a bass song (not that there isn't anything interesting about the bass in it, but it isn't the biggest focus in it), I would immediately recommand Purina Hall of Fame. Suggestions : Lagwagon - Give it back Cigar - Legacy of the 7 plies (I'm sure that one is coming already like 88FL) Satanic Surfers - Soothing, Even if time stood still, Lost, Don't Fade Away or The Treaty and the Bridge Face to Face - Disconnected Here's one that nobody else will suggest, so it's pretty much a "just trust me, you won't regret it" suggestion : Oversight - Just a word

Man, love your breakdowns and reactions. This band is sonically very progressive, thrashy, to more skate/pop/punk sensibilities, but I think underappreciated. Adventures in zoochosis is just a really cool song with some dynamic changes Night letters, last testament, diplicate keys icaro, lotus gait, specupative fiction, fixed frequencies would all be super interesting to hear you react to!

Saw these guys at Coffman Union in Minneapolis around '95-'96....they all played completely naked and at the time it was the most shocking punk rock thing any of us could wrap our heads around. Absolutely one of the greatest punk bands of all time. How to Clean Everything is right up there with Punk in Drublic and Against the Grains for my favorite punk albums.

The song Tertium Non Datur has the same kind of effect you spoke about on this one. The guitar chords have so much body and minor nuance that the bass can just go off. ~It’s like two coils of a dna helix, swirling, fighting for dominance over direction. Connected by the drums to stay on a forward path and give something life~

The failed imagineer is a reference to chris, the singer, who feels that hes failed to build the world he imagines as an anarchist, and coming to terms with raising a child in this world of failed imaginings.
