Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Canada (1986 – present)
The band members are known for championing various political causes. They have taken an active stance against human rights violations, racism, homophobia, imperialism, fascism, capitalism and organized religion. The band supports vegan lifestyles, animal rights campaigns and feminism, and have described themselves as “Gay Positive”.
In 1986, Samolesky and Hannah recruited original bassist Scott Hopper via a “Progressive Thrash Band, bassist wanted” flyer they posted in a local record shop. Hopper was replaced around the turn of the decade by Mike Braumeister. This was the first lineup to perform live. After several demos and larger shows (including one with Fugazi) made a name for the band, Braumeister moved to Vancouver and a young musician with an inclination towards poetry named John K. Samson became the band’s third bassist. It was this lineup of Hannah, Samolesky and Samson that would go on to put out the band’s early albums and gain recognition outside of Canada.
In 1992, Propagandhi played a show with NoFX. Impressed by their performance, Fat Mike signed them to his independent record label Fat Wreck Chords and asked them to come to L.A. to record their debut album. ‘How To Clean Everything’ was released in 1993, musically, the album owed a lot to 90s skate punk, but there were still glimpses of the band’s ‘Progressive Thrash’ roots in some of the riffs.

Forlong You should definitely check out "A Comprehensive Guide to Moderne Rebellion" and "Ballads from the Revolution" by Good Riddance. Also "666 Motor Inn" and "Going Nowhere Fast" by Satanic Surfers. Those albums (plus "Less Talk, More Rock" of course) had the most impact on me growing up.

Lost_Souls_UK Thanks a lot. I started on BR already, and they're probably the closest match. I know a few of the others, but will check out: Dillinger Four, Painted Thin, Strike Anywhere, Zero Down, The Lawrence Arms, I Spy and Second Combat. Looking for something just as political if possible, hence the air-tight integrity comment.

insane81 Hey, Propagandhi are just too unique to be similar to anything I guess. =) But you can try these: Bad Religion, Pennywise, Dillinger Four, Descendents, Good Riddance, Hot Water Music, Painted Thin, Strike Anywhere, Zero Down, The Lawrence Arms, Good Clean Fun , I Spy, Against Me!, Second Combat. You may find some a bit too different, but are worth a try. =)

Anyone know of any other (melodic) punk bands with similarly brilliant lyrics and air-tight integrity?
