A bunch of hardcore anarchists on Fat Wreck Chords? You mean they’ve expanded beyond the realm of signing bands that sing primarily about girls, beer, and partying? Propagandhi have “smash the state” written all over them and they want to be taken seriously rather than branded as another generic NOFX-wannabe band. How to Clean Everything accomplishes more than escaping the carbon-copy labeling — it also puts their message on a high pedestal so it can be heard loud and clear. And in the midst of all the “throwing the monkey wrench in the system” rants, they still have a little fun at the expense of all the bubble gum pop-punk bands that flood the market and even their own label. With How to Clean Everything representing Anarchy 101 to a mass audience, Propagandhi aren’t afraid to show the world that a government coup can be fun and educational at the same time. – Mike DaRonco
