Permanent Revolution is the title for ska band Catch 22's fourth studio album, released on June 27, 2006 (July 18, 2006, in Canada). The album can be classified as a concept album, centered on the life of Leon Trotsky (1879–1940), with the title being named after Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution.[6] A few of the songs of the album were pre-released, and could be listened to for free at their official website. A limited edition 7” of "Party Song" was released on red vinyl, available through Permanent Revolution pre-orders at Interpunk and F.Y.E.
