Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes is the third album by Canadian punk rock band Propagandhi, released February 6, 2001.
Recording sessions were delayed due to various issues, one of which was the band's practice space being flooded, and another being that drummer Jord Samolesky broke his foot playing hockey.
Both the Dead Kennedys songs and the Propagandhi track concern the co-opting of punk ideology by the corporate record industry.
The album art is credited to the painting The Unfinished Flag of the United States by American poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
After initially being planned for released in October 2000,[12] and then delayed to November due to bassist/vocalist Todd Kowalski and guitarist/vocalist Chris Hannah both losing their voices.
