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.

Good Vibes
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're bringing only good vibes
Whoa oh whoa oh oh yeah
People walking 'round talking down on others
You can't know yourself without knowing about the other
And I know that ain't the right way to go
I've got a hunch that we don't want to diss
Let's move away from hate and prejudice
The racist man, yeah, he's full of it
Let's learn about the culture opposite now
Don't judge a book by the cover
People take a look at the world and discover
That beauty is the word that I think of
When I see the different colors of skin
And I'll rejoice and sing for them
Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The tension keeps on building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The racism is killing us
When we come around, yeah
Try to keep compassion on the ground, yeah
Feel a sense of freedom with crowd, yeah
Connecting people with the sound, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, it's a choice to be grateful
People focus on the enemy that's hateful
The daily news has got a picture of a man
They say I'm supposed to hate
So great, just another stereotype to make
Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The tension keeps on building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The hatred keeps building up, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
The racism is killing us
Too many times that I've seen the wrong signs
Back up with your hatred in life
'Cause we're bringing only good vibes
We're bringing only good vibes
Too many times that I've seen the wrong signs
Empty out the hatred in life
We're bringing only good vibes
We're bringing only good vibes
I tell ya ease the tension
We all know my kind still got toe punt
If it was an eye-for-an-eye world we all would be blind by now
Love is the key and my yurt is my own
If we are connected by our fingers, let's start telling a line
We speak of love, no fall, but everyday we fly
And the birds fly high
No cheese to stop by
Man-made mountains climb up to the sky
Too much pollution in the mind
Too much pollution in the mind
Good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Bringing only good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Bringing only good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
Bringing only good vibes (too much pollution in the mind)
