    Quoted from pezpunk:

    Propagandhi is probably my favorite band. so many political punk bands just end up sounding like whiny, bratty kids shouting generic platitudes about "society" or whatever, but these guys are the real deal. their lyrics are cogent and dense, and packed with historical citations. they have been around since 1986, and they still tour and record new albums, and every album they have released has been more complex (musically and lyrically) than the last.
