Canadian punk vets Propagandhi have unveiled their latest record, titled At Peace, set to release on May 2 via Epitaph Records.
The album was written and recorded during Donald Trump's campaign for re-election and shortly before his controversial comments regarding Canadian statehood, has been mixed by longtime collaborator Jason Livermore.
Vocalist and guitarist Chris Hannah reflected on the new record, saying:
"Everything I’m singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record ‘How to Clean Everything’ in 1993. But what we’re putting into the songs now, probably reflects more despair than 30 years ago when we had similar perspectives, but with strands of hope and naivete. Now it’s the existential dread of eking out a life worth living in this completely failed society.
Twenty years ago, we had a sense that things are fucked but that there could be a mass mobilization of people against the oligarchy, the billionaire class. I don’t think that exists much in our music anymore and I don’t believe that mobilization is forthcoming. I hope to be proven wrong."

The tracklisting for At Peace is as follows:
- At Peace
- Prismatic Spray (The Tinder Date)
