Israel, Palestine, & The Tragic Cycle of Settler Colonialism in Propagandhi’s “Fixed Frequencies”

Relevant Song Review! What’s the best way to approach communicating sociopolitical ideas through music? Political punk rock and socially conscious art in general don’t have the best reputation, and yes, much of it is useless at best and counterproductive at worst. But Propagandhi represents the rare example of political art that manages to be timeless, universal, relevant, poetic, personal, profound, edgy, and compassionate all at once. “Fixed Frequencies” is a complex , rich song that uses its ~4 minutes to say a whole lot of deep stuff about the Israel-Palestine “conflict.” In this inaugural edition of RELEVANT SONG REVIEW, Hoss Bossman gets down and dirty explicating this song and proves once and for all that: Propagandhi is the greatest band of all time besides Bad Religion; political art CAN indeed fix society; and Hawaiian shirts make it impossible to not take a person seriously.
