There were two revolutions in 1917, one in the spring and one I would have thought was in October. I’m sure the term “Decemberists” makes sense in terms of commie history, but I can’t quite figure it out. Anyone here know?

From Wikipedia (FWIW):

"The band's name refers to an 1825 revolt over the Imperial Russian succession (Decembrist revolt) It is not related to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917."
