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.

Against The Grain
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They come for trouble
You can't understand my struggle
So much to contain
Now it's me against the grain
So call me by my name
I rise up
People chat and say
Now it's me against the grain
Rise, rise
Come on and rise
Rise up to the top now
Try and never stop
Now rise
Look out, watch out
They're in for trouble
Yeah I power through my struggle
They say that I'm insane
Well it's me against the grain
They try and call me names
I rise up
Some people never change
Well I don't care for what they say
Now it's me against the grain
Rise, rise
Come on and rise
Rise up to the top now
Try and never stop
Now rise
To power through and through it's a constant struggle
But we got what takes to push on and survive
Through battles I remain
I rise up
Knowledge I retain
Well yeah they say I'm out the game
Now it's me against the grain
In "Against The Grain," Rebelution speaks about fighting against society's conventions and expectations. The lyrics suggest that they battle with being misunderstood and judged by the people around them. The band is defending their right to live life on their own terms and do things in their own way despite what others may think or say. The lyrics "You can't understand my struggle, so much to contain, now it's me against the grain. So call me by my name, I rise up" depict the emotions that arise from feeling isolated and different from those around them. The song's chorus is an encouragement to rise above the chaos and overcome adversity and obstacles by taking control of their lives and refusing to let the opinions of others affect them.
