Rebelution kicked off their โPeace of Mind Tourโ the day after the release, selling out shows at Phillyโs The Electric Factory, The Hollywood Palladium, Denverโs 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 Broโs 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 bandโs signature style while venturing into new musical genres from the lush strings incorporated into the gentle โRoute Aroundโ to the driving guitar and synths throughout โLady In Whiteโ.
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 Rebelutionโs 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.

Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a good time, to tell you when to smile, not to frown,
Yes you're all shot down and you might ask how,
Time flies by and you just found out,
You're almost to the point where you can't turn back,
You've got a leveled head on a one-way track,
Don't tell me there's an end to a road,
Your goal set on hold,
Okay?
But keep me up to date,
I promise you I'll never lose the faith when you get up, go on escape,
To a scary world,
The old cliche is true,
You do what you gotta do,
I'm tryin' to put out something new,
I'm always at the edge of my seat,
Constantly containing that kinetic energy,
Constantly I'm reigning in the sweet melody,
I'm humming tunes to sleep,
Watch me hit the peak and I'll stay up for good
This is what I'll say to you,
This is my advice for you,
Show me love and I'll come through
This is what it comes down to
And I'll be shouting with my hands in the air,
I don't care what they say,
Stop the hate,
I'll replace it with my eyes focused in on a place,
Designed to keep a peace and refrain from race killing race,
Oh my God, did you hear?
The time it takes for me to make a difference is a near,
And I'm gonna keep on trying because there ain't nothing I fear,
On the real, hide the tears,
We'll keep it flowing with a beat right here,
This is what I'll say to you,
This is my advice for you,
Show me love and I'll come through
This is what it comes down to
