As one of Fat Wreck Chord's very first bands, Propagandhi have long been departure against the grain of not hardly company, but even their possess record label. Initiated by Chris Hannah and Jordy Samolesky, the band of radicals from Winnipeg, Canada, got together in 1989 and finally played a show up with NOFX. After talking with Fat Mike and realizing they shared the like D.I.Y. attitude, the band agreed to connect his fledgling tag. Ideally, the band would have loved to bird the entire capitalist march of marketing and merchandising music, just made compromises in order to get its pro-gay, pro-feminist, pro-civil liberties, anti-fascism message out. Screeching over fast, catchy punk music, the group moved easy from humorous to unfathomed to blunt with song titles like "I Was a Pre-Teen McCarthyist," "Hatred, Myth, Muscle, Etiquette," and "Stick That Fucking Flag Up Your Goddamn Ass, You Skinhead Creep."
That style took a dramatic turn in 1997 when isaac Merrit Singer, songwriter, and bassist John K. Samson left to publish, start a publishing party, and eventually form the Weakerthans. The unexpended members of Propagandhi started their possess label, G7 Welcoming Committee, which released the band's third album, Where Quantity Is Job #1 [1998], along with Weakerthans' records and Propagandhi's 2001 exploit, Today's Empire, Tomorrow's Ashes, in Canada. Both Where Quantity Is Job #1 -- a digest of alive tracks, demos, and previously unreleased material -- and Potyokin City Limits were released in 2005. The latter CD featured Glen Lambert as a switch for Chris Hannah, although it before long became plain that Hannah had non left the stripe, and had instead been exploitation the "Glen Lambert" byname as a anonym.
