In a 2015 interview with Noisey, Propagandhi’s Chris Hannah ranked the six albums the hyper-political Canadian punks had made until that point. The vocalist/guitarist placed Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes in second-to-last place, blaming his decision wholly on the sonics of the record. “I just find it sonically not very listenable,” he explained in the piece. “I wish we could remix it, but nobody ever wants to hear a remixed 20 year-old record.” He was wrong.
Today, we’re thrilled to reveal that the record has finally been given the remix it deserves by the talented Jason Livermore from The Blasting Room. It has been remastered from the original reels and remixed along with FOUR bonus tracks. Today’s Empires, Tomorrow’s Ashes drops on November 12th, and is available for pre-order.

I was not an eager fan of Joey Cape´s solo work and albums for a long time. Last full length was great and I was eager what to expect on this one, although I had no big hopes because of a reason that I mentioned above. Fat Wreck Chords released this one as always and I think this is the best collection of songs that Lagwagon singer made solo up to date. There are twelve songs on this opus with significant record title to which I think all of us can relate to when thinking about 2020. Joey deals with lots of personal stuff here and you can hear melodic songs with great vocal lines, creating thematically atmosphere of darkness, hope and despair, something that lot of us felt last year. But, Joey also leaves a place for hope and leaves us thinking worse can´t happen that already did. Songs like It Could Be Real, Check Your Ego At The Door, Saturday Night Fever and Come Home are songs that are my personal favorites, but you will have to find yours when listening to this nice album.
