"Revolution" comes from April Uprising, which the Australian roots outfit the John Butler Trio made in Fremantle between late 2009 and early 2010 as their fifth album in the studio. The record takes its name from family history: Butler went to Bulgaria chasing his ancestors for the TV series Who Do You Think You Are, and the 1876 April Uprising looms large in that country's past.
Butler wrote the song alone and sings lead, playing 12-string guitar and EBow, while Byron Luiters holds down electric bass and Nicky Bomba covers percussion and steel pan; all three sing backup. The trio produced it themselves, and Robin Mai engineered and mixed.
