Propagandhi
How To Clean Everything (re-issue)
In 1993 PROPAGANDHI recorded their first album, How to Clean Everything, and released it via a then fledgling Fat Wreck Chords. Needless to say the album was hugely successful at not only putting the label on the map, but even more so, at establishing PROPAGANDHI as a massive force in the punk scene. Leaning more toward the skate punk tradition than the bands current work, How To Clean Everything was a clear launch point for PROPAGANDHI, filled with aggressive metal riffs and a young snarky delivery of lyrics about human rights, equality, and radical left-wing politics. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of such an important album everyone involved thought a new edition was in order. Singer/Guitarist Chris Hannah explains his reasoning for it (with a twinge of his beloved sarcastic wit): "Maybe its the bath-salts talking, but I have come to believe that there is value in having something that haunts you until you are dead. I give you. How To Clean Everything, the 20th anniversary edition." The reissue includes the full original album, the 3 outtakes that Fat Mike cut from the initial record, and a super rare 4-song HTCE demo. Of course the album was re-mastered from the original analog reels as well. All in all, the 20th anniversary edition is a worthy update to an absolute classic.
