Listen: Propagandhi release 'Bullshit Politicians' remake that never made it to 'Rock Against Bush' compilation


Back in 2004 Propagandhi redid their song 'Bullshit Politicians' for the Rock Against Bush compilation, but due to disagreements between the band and the head of the label (Fat Mike of NOFX) the song never made it on the album. Fortunately, fans can now get it from Bandcamp for a name-your-price download. The song was renamed 'Free John Hinckley' (the attempted assassin of Ronald Reagan), and was released in honor of Stephen Harper's (Canadian Prime Minister) Bill C-38.

Singer Chris Hannah had this to say about it:
...in honour of the total handing over of the country’s keys to corporate interests by Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party (i wish they’d conserve something for once), also known as Bill C-38, we dug up said track from the deep within the Propagandhi archives and put it on that thing called “band camp”. you can take it for free (i think) or you can buy us a virtual beer and a smoke with a donation while you follow the link in the description to see what’s so bad about favouring multinational corporations over the people that actually live here. who knows? maybe one or both of us can actually get out from in front of our computers and join those already trying to do something about this dark day. crazier things have happened.
Hit the jump to give it a listen, and pitch them some beer money if you enjoy it.
