Revolutionary Breakdown is the title of the seventh studio album by indie punk band Rest in Peace, which was released on February 1st, 2008. This is the first full lenght album the band released under Midnight/Mythic Records. It was the first Rest in Peace album since guitarist Mike Alche was back.
This is a conceptual album, telling the story of a boy who sees the World around him and he wants to destroy everything. He becomes an anarchist, has a teenage love, fights with his so-called friends and thinks he can change the World and destroy capitalism; he sees himself in a fight against his fascist nation (it's thought that it is the U.S.) and dies fighting for what he believes.
The album has been categorized as "a 21st century old-fashioned punk-rock album" and has been nominated for the category of Best Album at the 12th IMAs/Birdies.
The lead single from the album, "Smash Your Head" has received significant radio airplay and was nominated, also at the 12th IMAs, as Best Single.
Revolutionary Breakdown debuted at #2 in Canadian charts, and it was the album's highest chart.
The album won the award for Best Album at the 13th IMAs, and was the first award the band ever won.
