About this album

Sound: "A blistering fusion of melodic hardcore and punk that challenges societal norms with sharp wit and urgency."

Where they were

Released on April 23, 1996, 'Less Talk, More Rock' is Propagandhi's second studio album, following their influential debut 'How to Clean Everything'. At this point in their career, the band was solidifying their reputation for combining politically charged lyrics with fast-paced music, marking a pivotal moment in the melodic hardcore scene.

Why it matters

The album is significant for its critical reception and influence within the punk rock community, showcasing an unapologetic stance on veganism and anti-capitalism. It has become a staple reference for those exploring political punk music, often cited in discussions about the genre's evolution during the 1990s.

Essential tracks

  • "Apparently, I’m a “P.C. Fascist” (Because I Care About Both Human and Non‐Human Animals)" — This track encapsulates the band's provocative style, using humor and irony to address serious issues like animal rights and social justice.
  • "Less Talk, More Rock" — The title track serves as an anthem for action over discourse, perfectly capturing the band's ethos while delivering high-energy riffs.
  • "...And We Thought That Nation‐States Were a Bad Idea" — This song critiques nationalism within a minute-and-a-half of frenetic energy, exemplifying the album's sharp commentary on political structures.
  • "The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist" — With its aggressive title and sound, this track reflects the band's staunch anti-fascist views while pushing musical boundaries in punk.
