Skillet’s “Unpopular” Has Dropped

ByIan Lord

Skillet will release their first independent album, “Revolution,” on November 1st via their Hear It Loud imprint. The lead single is “Unpopular.”

“‘Unpopular‘ is lighthearted, but there’s a clear message,” offered lead singer John Cooper. “So many people don’t have a place to belong. You have powerful people telling you what reality is, what you should eat, what you should drive, and how you should live. They deem us ‘unpopular.’ In reality, we agree more than we disagree as a society.”

“Revolution” Tracks:

01. Showtime 
02. Unpopular 
03. All That Matters 
04. Not Afraid 
05. Revolution
06. Ash In The Wind
07. Fire Inside Of Me 
08. Defector 
09. Happy Wedding Day (Song)
10. Death Defier 

After five studio efforts on Atlantic Records and related labels, Skillet opted to go the indie route so they could move more quickly in terms of recording and releasing music.
