The record arrives with a wave of momentum from its three advance singles — “Go To Hell,” “Summertime,” and “Away” — each of which claimed the #1 spot on Toronto’s Q107 New Music Friday list.
"Peace Love War & Hate" is the final album recorded and produced by Grammy award winner Peter J. Moore, completed at his iconic Concord Sound Studio (THE “E” ROOM) before his passing in 2023.
Further recording and engineering was done by George Guerra, with additional production by legendary producer Terry Brown (Rush, The Who, Donovan).
Juno Award nominee Mahabir is joined by a powerhouse of Canadian talent on the album, including John Borra (bass) and Blue Rodeo’s Michael Boguski (keyboards) and Glenn Milchem (drums).
"Peace Love War & Hate" is a bold, unfiltered look at the beauty and brutality of the human experience. Across 13 tracks, the album explores themes of love, loss, conflict, resilience, displacement, obsession, and redemption.

From intimate emotional battles to global ones, the album reflects both the personal and the political, the internal wars and the ones raging across the world.
Mahabir writes with a storyteller’s eye and a humanitarian heart — tackling subjects such as addiction, missing and murdered women, the longing for peace and the trauma of war.
“This album is about the battles we fight — in our homes, in our hearts, and around the world,” says Mahabir.
A veteran of Toronto’s indie music scene, Mahabir co-founded the 1980s alt-rock band Groovy Religion, backing poet Jim Carroll several times, and has collaborated with Peter J. Moore among other notable artists.
His 2015 debut album "Angel in Parkdale" drew critical praise and produced multiple singles, videos, and national attention.
With "Peace Love War & Hate", Mahabir steps forward with his most impactful work yet — a passionate, fearless record that reflects the world we’re living in and the humanity we can’t afford to lose.
