Propagandhi & The Flatliners in Vancouver

Propagandhi is a Canadian punk band formed in Winnipeg in 1986 by Chris Hannah and Jord Samolesky. The group is known for fast, technically precise punk and explicitly political writing, including “Anti-Manifesto” and “Nation-States,” and albums such as Less Talk, More Rock, Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes and Supporting Caste. An early-1990s show with NOFX connected Propagandhi with Fat Mike, who released How to Clean Everything through Fat Wreck Chords. Live from Occupied Territory documented a 2003 performance at The Zoo, and the band later toured behind Failed States and Victory Lap in clubs, theatres and festival settings. Its festival appearances have included The Fest in Gainesville and Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas.

The Flatliners are a Canadian punk rock band formed in Richmond Hill, Ontario, in 2002. Their early records drew heavily on ska punk, while albums including The Great Awake, Cavalcade and Dead Language established a more melodic punk and hardcore sound. The Flatliners toured clubs and punk festivals after Fat Wreck Chords released The Great Awake in 2007. They joined the Vans Warped Tour in 2011 and supported The Menzingers on European dates in 2018. The live show uses the band’s longstanding four-piece lineup: Chris Cresswell on vocals and guitar, Scott Brigham on guitar, Jon Darbey on bass and Paul Ramirez on drums. The band has repeatedly performed in Toronto and Montreal and has returned to London on UK tours.
