December 2006 Interview
Canadian political-punk band Propagandhi played Dublin for the first time in five years on the 12th of December to a youthful and energetic crowd at the Temple Bar Music Centre. The band, known for the heavy political content of their albums and live shows, are touring to promote their latest album “Potemkin City Limits” their first release in over five years. After their show I talked with drummer Jord Samoleski about his life in politics and music. Propagandhi have been quite busy in Winnipeg during their down time between albums with some band members helping to run their “G7 welcoming committee” record label and others involved in social justice work. Propagandhi are somewhat unique as punk-rockstars as they practice what they preach. All band members are vegans, in line with the band's strong stance on animal rights, and many are involved in radical social movements which they promote through their music.

Jord tells how he is involved in a Canada-Haiti action network to expose the role the Canadian government is playing propping up the Haitian regime, “Canada are currying favour with the bush administration by participating in a coup d’etat and breaking international laws…Quebec hydro is down there [in Haiti] securing deals”. Their last two albums have been accompanied by a wealth of information on veganism, Parecon, Chomsky and Cointelpro and their live sets have been known to include lengthy anti-capitalist diatribes.
