Chokehold is a Canadian straight edge and political hardcore punk band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They were active from 1990 to 1996, and came together again for a reunion tour in 2015, and five dates in Japan in September 2016. They released their third album in 2019. Songs like “Profit Over People” are the natural evolution of the cultural criticism Chokehold perfected in the early 90s, from sarcastically sampling an old Young Republicans Youth Choir record on Content with Dying to critiquing a vapid TV culture obsessed with tawdry misdeeds, even as political prisoners (like Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier) languish outside the spotlight of the tabloid circus.
