Rebelution kicked off their “Peace of Mind Tour” the day after the release, selling out shows at Philly’s The Electric Factory, The Hollywood Palladium, Denver’s The Fillmore, The Fox Theater in Oakland and Hard Rock in Orlando, FL. The tour made stops in a total of 42 cities across the country.
Summer 2012 was spent supporting O.A.R on their Amphitheatre tour, headlining four amphitheaters in Florida as well as festival performances at Outside Lands, Hangout, Forecastle, Summer Camp, Summer Set, The Allman Bro’s Peach Festival and two performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. After completing a Fall tour of the East and South East, Rebelution will be headlining The Hollywood Palladium on New Years Eve, heading to New Zealand for the Raggamuffins Festival in February and headlining their annual Winter Greens Tour around the USA in Feb - May 2013.
Peace of Mind marks the first time Rebelution has expanded beyond their usual self-production enlisting producers Michael Goldwasser (Easy Star All-Stars), Amp Live (Zion-I), Yeti Beats (Kool Keith, George Clinton), Keith Armstrong and Errol Brown (Stephen, Ziggy, Damian, and Bob Marley). The album builds upon the band’s signature style while venturing into new musical genres from the lush strings incorporated into the gentle “Route Around” to the driving guitar and synths throughout “Lady In White”.
Rebelution has developed into a front-runner for grassroots, independent and tour driven music groups. Originally formed in 2004, members Eric Rachmany (vocals / guitar), Rory Carey (keyboards), Wesley Finley (drums), and Marley D. Williams (bass) met in college, while residing in Isla Vista, a popular beachside community in Santa Barbara. It was there that the seeds to Rebelution’s future were planted creating inspiring and engaging music that would leave their listeners with the sense that they have the power to make this world a better place. The band continuously tours across the country, ventured to South America and Europe, and has previously performed at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits among others.

Courage to Grow
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who lost their hope
A long a long time ago
I know someday that you will find it somehow
Because you're not too old
To accomplish goals
And all the answers are within your soul
Its up to you, you gotta figure it out
Uh huh
Whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now
Well you can gain the world
But for the price of your soul
Yes I know, well I know, yes I know
You can gain the world for the price of your soul
But I hope you take the road less traveled
And I hope you find the courage to grow
Well I hope you find the courage to grow
So now you're forty five
And you realize
Just what you wanna do with your life
Just took some time for you to figure it out
'Cause everyone one of us
Has a purpose here
Sometimes its hidden underneath your fear
Just takes some time for the truth to come out
So whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now
Well you can gain the world
But for the price of your soul
Yes I know, well I know, yes I know
You can gain the world for the price of your soul
But I hope you take the road less traveled
And I hope you find the courage to grow
Well I hope you find the courage to grow
Rebelution's "Courage to Grow" is a song that centers on self-discovery and the ability to achieve one's dreams regardless of age or time elapsed. The lyrics are an encouragement for those who have lost hope at some point in their lives. The song endorses the idea that everyone has the ability within them to accomplish their goals, but it takes courage to pursue them. The first verse suggests that there is still hope for those who may seem to have lost it a long time ago. The singer believes that the answer to their queries is within their souls and the solution lies in their ability to figure things out for themselves. The pre-chorus urges the listener to take action, to take chances and not to fill their lives with confusion and regret. The chorus emphasizes pursuing individual goals, which may not necessarily be material ones like love, money, fame or even a brand-new car. The song stresses that the reward for pursuing one's dreams should not come at the expense of one's soul.
The second verse suggests it’s never too late to discover one's purpose. The lyrics imply that finding the purpose may take time as it may be concealed in fear. However, the bridge emphasizes that most goals are achievable but one needs courage and determination to succeed. The song ends with the singer wishing the listener would take the road less traveled, be unique, find their courage, and have the courage to grow.
