HUNNY
SPIRIT!, the third LP from HUNNY, is all about embracing the weird. It’s an album born from uncertainty and built on instinct – a testament to breaking free, starting over and blocking out the external noise. Now solely the project of longtime frontman Jason Yarger, HUNNY has shed its past shape to become something more fully itself. Fundamentally, the Epitaph-released SPIRIT! doesn’t reinvent the wheel for HUNNY as much as it keeps it rolling forward on a blend of hooky post-punk, gleaming synths and shout-along choruses. Yarger wrote and recorded the album almost entirely in his LA home studio, emptying his voice memos and Notes app of in-the-moment observationalism and off-the-cuff inspiration – all combining to strike the perfect balance between irreverent humor and indie-rock chic. It’s yet another chameleonic turn for HUNNY, long known for shapeshifting through genres and decades with style on fan favorites like 2019’s Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. and 2023’s new planet heaven – all while still sounding unmistakably like itself. For Yarger, the process of making SPIRIT! ultimately marks a pivotal shift, not just creatively, but in how he envisions the future of HUNNY. Free from compromise, he’s able to follow his instincts, allowing his music to unfold in unexpected ways. “I'm trying to be less precious with my songwriting,” he says. “I don't want anything to sound like HUNNY at this point – or, I simultaneously want nothing and everything to sound like HUNNY.”

Propagandhi
“Speaking for myself, this record might be a snapshot of me deciding whether I’m going to live out the rest of my life as Eckhart Tolle or live out the rest of my life as Ted Kaczynski,” laughs PROPAGANDHI guitarist and vocalist Chris Hannah. In true PROPAGANDHI fashion, the Manitoba, Canada based outfit’s eighth album, At Peace is smart music for dangerous times. “Everything I’m singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record How to Clean Everything in 1993,” Hannah states recalling the band’s snarky skate-thrash origins. “But what we’re putting into the songs now, probably reflects more despair than 30 years ago when we had similar perspectives, but with strands of hope and naivete. Now it’s the existential dread of eking out a life worth living in this completely failed society.” At Peace was written and recorded as political storm clouds were beginning to darken in the months before Emperor Trump’s ascent to power. It’s an album of poetic and polemic songs written shortly before the American oligarch’s suggestion that PROPAGANDHI’s home country become the U.S.’s 51st State. Songs like the album’s apocryphal “Fire Season” presages the climate-change-driven wildfires that wiped out portions of Southern California. At its core, At Peace is an album of inconvenient and unavoidable truths that hit with all the subtlety of an Orwellian boot stamping on a human face forever.
