Early years

In the mid-1980s, Samolesky and Hannah recruited original bassist Scott Hopper via a "bassist wanted" flyer they posted in a local record shop. Hopper was replaced around the turn of the decade by Mike Braumeister. This was the first lineup to perform live. After several demos and larger shows, including one with Fugazi, made a name for the band, Braumeister moved to Vancouver and a young musician with an inclination towards poetry named John K.

In 1992, Propagandhi played a show with California punk rock band NOFX. They played a cover version of Cheap Trick's "Surrender". Amazed by their performance, Fat Mike signed them to his independent record label Fat Wreck Chords. He also asked them to come to L.A. to record their debut album How To Clean Everything and it was released in 1993. The band spent the next three years touring and enjoying the popularity provided by the explosion of punk rock in the mid-1990s. In 1996, they recorded and released their second album, Less Talk, More Rock, also on Fat Wreck Chords. The album title was a joke, as Propagandhi were well known for going into lengthy rants during their live performances. The album was, if anything, more out-spoken than its predecessor, with song titles including; "Apparently I'm a P.C. Fascist (Because I Care About Both Human and Non-Human Animals)", "Nailing Descartes To The Wall / (Liquid) Meat Is Still Murder," and "... And We Thought That Nation States Were a Bad Idea."

Intermediary period

After Less Talk, More Rock was released, bassist John K. Samson decided to quit the band and form The Weakerthans. Chris and Jord founded the record label G7 Welcoming Committee Records (which released the Weakerthans' first album). The label name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the band members' dislike for the G7 (which has since become the G8). The label's economic structure is based upon the one proposed in Robin Hahnel and Michael Albert's Parecon, and was initially started thanks to a $50,000 loan from Fat Mike. During this time, Propagandhi released a collection of demos, alternate takes, covers and live songs called Where Quantity is Job #1. New bassist Todd Kowalski, formerly of the bands I Spy and Swallowing Shit, was hired to replace Samson.

After four years, Propagandhi released their third full-length album, Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes. The album was a major departure from their previous works. The song titles and lyrics of Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes furthered the sphere of their political views, bolstered by the addition of the song-writing styles of Todd. The album includes enhanced content, with political videos and essays concerning such topics as COINTELPRO and the Black Panther Party. Todays Empires, Tomorrows Ashes is the third album by the punk rock band Propagandhi, released on February 6, 2001. ...

Propagandhi released the album Potemkin City Limits on October 18, 2005. Like Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes, the album has multimedia content, with a number of Adobe PDF files on topics such as Parecon and veganism, and a site featuring links to websites of organizations Propagandhi supports. However, it does not include any videos, as their previous album had.

Chris Hannah adopted the pseudonym "Glen Lambert" for use during the release of Potemkin City Limits, causing confusion among some fans, reviewers, and commentators. In September 2005, G7 Welcoming Committee Records jokingly announced that Chris had left the band in 2003, and that the remaining members had found a replacement in Glen Lambert, formerly of the Portage Terriers. This claim was quickly revealed to be untrue through a multitude of sources.

Without admitting to the joke, Propagandhi announced on August 14, 2006 that "Glen Lambert" had been dismissed and would be replaced by "former" member Chris Hannah. They also added guitarist David Guillas, making the band a four-piece for the first time.
