The Pretenders' 11th studio album, Hate for Sale, marks the band's first effort since 2016's Alone, though frontwoman Chrissie Hynde released a jazz-influenced covers solo LP last year called Valve Bone Woe.
'Learning To Crawl' is Pretenders' third album, released after a band hiatus which saw in this time the sad passing of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon before recording started.
Propagandhi join the Epitaph roster with Failed States just in time for their politically engaged anthems to form a soundtrack to that magical theatrical production known as the US elections. Failed States is the band's sixth album.
In 1993 Propagandhi recorded their first album, How to Clean Everything. Needless to say the album was hugely successful at establishing Propagandhi as a massive force in the punk scene.
Intelligent and visceral in equal measure, it's a record - thanks to songs like "Baghdad", and "Bullshit Politicians" offers up one of the most vicious indictments of American (and, to be fair, Western) imperialism ever committed to tape.
The legendary 2001 release has also been newly remastered from the original reels by Jason Livermore from The Blasting Room studio. Fourteen anthems of fast, heavy, irreverent, melodic, metallic punk rock with nods to mid-eighties political hardcore.
The first thing to know, if you want to know about Propagandhi, is that they came here to rock. Right from the snarling opening riff of their seventh album, Victory Lap, that much is clear.
Previously unreleased version of Public Image Limited's debut album that was re-recorded and remixed for release (with alternate artwork from original release) in 1979 via Warners in the US and Canada, but ultimately shelved.
You may know it from "Silence of the Lambs", or "Clerks", but once you give this a listen... you'll know it from breaking your heart into a million pieces.
This 1-LP compilation of Ramones sub-2 minute zingers (for the most part) collects highlights from the band's extensive career from their first release in 1976 through 1994.
