‘Revolution’ doesn’t hide behind metaphors or philosophical concepts; it goes straight to the point, calling for the same very thing its title enunciates. It’s an interesting quality that’s shared both by the record’s sonic character and its lyricism; a gritty, raw flavour instantly relatable and memorable. That’s perhaps what makes the song so easy to digest.
Penned by Toronto garage rock outfit Madame Psychosis, the single sees fuzzy, quirky guitars as its main attraction, together with punk-infused drum grooves and evocative, extra-fierce vocals, wrapping the listeners in unmatched charisma and a push towards activism and protesting. It works well, with ‘Revolution’ really trying its best to make a difference in today’s gloomy, dark landscape.
Interpreters of our reality? How would you define Madame Psychosis? Using their art to describe and subsequently react to the status quo, the Canadian talents are certainly authentic in their stance, something that’s already an impressive feature in the current music industry. Speaking about the song, they explain: “The less we embrace our differences as a positive and beautiful reflection of unique qualities that deserve a place and space in society, the more we lose our humanity. Until we start thinking and behaving in an expansive manner, coming from a place of true care, love, compassion, and kindness for ourselves and others, we will never be free.”
