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.

Bright Side of Life
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a breath and don't cry, oh my my, look on the bright side,
Rise up, now make an impact, now get your bags packed, think about your life, the thrill,
Don't you cry, oh my my, look on the bright side of life
Somebody told me everything is alright,
That life's too short to be afraid,
Which is leading up to what I want to say,
Contemplating every single day,
And learning so we educate and be positive, it is what it is,
Come and set examples for the kids
I don't want to scare you no I don't,
It's time you be a role model so,
Open up
Somebody told me everything's alright,
That life's too short to be afraid,
Which is leading up to what I want to say,
Living should be giving in a way,
Contemplating every single day,
And learning so we educate and be positive, it is what it is,
Come and set examples for the kids
I don't want to scare you no I don't,
But it's time you be a role model so,
I don't want to scare you no I don't,
It's time you be a role model so,
Open up
Don't trip, you know I'm always by your side, you'll be fine for the ride, just be calm,
Take a breath and don't cry, oh my my, look on the bright side,
Rise up now make an impact, now get your bags packed, think about your life, the thrill,
Don't you cry, oh my my, look on the bright side,
Be kind, and keep a smile, keep your head up and try, find a friend or a child and,
Encourage their life, oh my my, look on the bright side,
Rise up now make an impact, now get your bags packed, think about your life, the thrill,
Don't you cry, oh my my, look on the bright side of life
