Re-release of 2010 album from the Australian guitarist, John Butler and his bandmates. April Uprising is John's most focused, diverse and accessible album to date, showcasing innovative sounds from the trippy steel drum detail on "Take Me" to the roaring radio chorus of "To Look Like You"; the tender ache of "Steal It" and "Fool For You" to the rustic folk of "Ragged Mile" and the hysterical Rock attack of "C'mon Now", to the single, a rock disco classic "Close To You" where John lets rip with the electric telecaster. Between the epic opening track "Revolution" and a whispered acoustic coda "A Star is Born", dedicated to John's son, April Uprising is an album that combines the personal, the political and the musically memorable with skill and passion.

2014 repress; 2010 release. Limited French edition, includes two bonus tracks not available elsewhere. John Butler began his career as a musician in the streets of his country, Australia. Independent since his beginnings, his career was built from his own label Jarrah Records. With April Uprising, a brand-new chapter opens for the group: "The preparation for the recording and the repetitions were a true pleasure. I would say that the sounds, the general spirit and the energy of this album are summarized in these words: free, melodic, funky, powerful and rock. There is unquestionably more aggressiveness in this album than in the precedents. It is probably because of our superior engagement and conviction in term of writing and production. With Nicky and Byron, I found a degree of complicity which really serves the songs in all their aspects."
