Rebelution kicked off their βPeace of Mind Tourβ the day after the release, selling out shows at Phillyβs The Electric Factory, The Hollywood Palladium, Denverβs 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 Broβs 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 bandβs signature style while venturing into new musical genres from the lush strings incorporated into the gentle βRoute Aroundβ to the driving guitar and synths throughout βLady In Whiteβ.
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 Rebelutionβs 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.

Hate To Be The One (Feat. Coll
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hate to be the one who has to tell ya
Hate to be the one
Hate to be the one who has to tell ya
Because youβre in a war zone
Get out now you donβt know
I hate to be the one
Hate to be the one
Now let me tell you as a friend, my friend
I can see it happen all over again
Yeah let me tell you as a friend, my friend
Thereβs a theme going on and itβs a trend
Well take another look
Sheβs the type of crook
Call it kiss and run,
The most devious of looks
And she donβt really care
Take take and now she took
But the men still stare
And theyβre reaching for their books
So tell me why they say Iβm better than the rest
Sheβs a little beauty how much meaner can she get
I love her pretty eyes and Iβm chasing for the tail
Devil in the detail, you should let her sail
Oh never can I fail oh no
Why? Because she said I love you boy
And love will prevail
Nothing that can ever go wrong
So how can I mess up?
In every single way
Friend
Dollars not cents
Thousands gone, and now sheβs off again
Can you believe it my friend?
Flash, gone
Gone with the wind to the next top dog
Well come on I donβt want to be alone
She says she loves me, thatβs how I know
Love grows you know
I swear on my soul
Well thatβs why I can never let her go
The song "Hate To Be The One" by Rebelution featuring Coll talks about a girl who is constantly moving from one man to another. The singer expresses his concern about his friend getting involved with her as she is dangerous and always causes heartbreak. He hates to be the one to tell his friend that she is no good for him, but he feels it's his responsibility to do so. The lyrics try to give the listener a warning against getting involved with someone who is not worth their time and attention.
The first verse emphasizes the danger of the situation to the friend of the singer. The girl the friend is involved with is a "type of crook," who does not care about anyone but herself. She's always on the look for her next target to move on to, and her beauty is the only thing that attracts men to her. The chorus repeats the idea of the singer not wanting to be the one to tell his friend, but he feels it is necessary to warn him about the girl he is with.
The second verse talks about the progression of the situation as the friend continues to be involved with the girl. The singer tries to give advice to his friend by reminding him of the thousands of dollars he has spent on her, and how she has already moved on to another man. He implores his friend to see the pattern and not be involved with someone who will only cause him pain. The bridge of the song talks about love being able to overcome anything, but the singer feels that it is not worth it when it comes to someone like the girl in question.
