"Revolution" comes from Speed of Darkness, the fifth studio album from Irish-American Celtic punks Flogging Molly, which arrived in the spring of 2011. They made it at Echo Mountain in Asheville, North Carolina, a onetime church converted into a recording studio, with Ryan Hewitt, whose résumé already ran to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Avett Brothers. Hewitt produced alongside the band, engineered with Jordon Silva and handled the mix himself, and Rich Wiley brings a trumpet to the party.

The album's title, frontman Dave King told BBC Radio 1, came from a line of Dino Misetić's quoted in the book Sarajevo Marlboro; Misetić, who designed the album's cover, was a kid in the Balkans while war tore through them. It was also the last Flogging Molly record with George Schwindt on drums.
