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.

Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we heard the sound, and when they announced
It was war, ten dropped or more
And I wasn't sure, now what was it for?
Who could ever see that
This would come true, that we'd have to prove
We put it on the line, but this time was real
And now I can feel it
Ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ahhhh
I can't see and I can't feel my feet
Nobody speaks, and it seems I'm the team
Could it be? The last one is me
And all of my friends, and all of their dreams
Who could ever see that
This would come true, that we'd have to prove
We put it on the line, but this time was real
And now I can feel it
Ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ahhhh
The lyrics to Rebelution's song "Honeypot" are open to interpretation, but it appears to be a song about war, sacrifice, and loyalty. The first verse starts with a question asking where the listener was when a significant event occurred. The event is unspecified, but it is clear that it was something traumatic that resulted in loss of life. The singer is confused as to the purpose of the event, wondering why it happened in the first place. The second verse seems to describe a situation in which the singer is alone, possibly the last survivor of the event. The language of the song suggests that this is a war, and that the singer and their friends were fighting for something they believed in.
The chorus, with its repeated "ahh" sounds, underscores the emotion of the song. It is unclear what the purpose of the "ahhs" are, but they may serve to emphasize the feeling of pain, loss, and desperation. They may also serve to highlight the idea that sometimes words cannot express the depth of emotion that the singer is feeling.
Overall, "Honeypot" is a song about sacrifice and the cost of war. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, we do not fully understand the consequences of our actions until it is too late. The emphasis on loyalty and the idea that the singer and their friends are fighting for something they believe in adds an emotional depth to the song that is difficult to ignore.
Line by Line Meaning
Where were you, when everything went down?
At the moment of crisis, where were you and what was your reaction?
When we heard the sound, and when they announced
When the news of the event broke and was shared publicly
It was war, ten dropped or more
There were serious consequences and a large number of casualties
And I wasn't sure, now what was it for?
Questioning the reason for the conflict and lack of clarity around the situation
Who could ever see that
Expresses surprise and shock at the unexpected circumstances
This would come true, that we'd have to prove
The realization that a certain scenario has become a reality and requires action
We put it on the line, but this time was real
Taking serious risks and making sacrifices in a situation that is actually happening
And now I can feel it
Feeling the intensity and gravity of the situation
I can't see and I can't feel my feet
Feeling disoriented, powerless and out of control
Nobody speaks, and it seems I'm the team
Feeling alone and unsupported, with nobody stepping up to take action
Could it be? The last one is me
Realizing that the responsibility to act is solely on the individual in that moment
And all of my friends, and all of their dreams
Reflecting on the people and aspirations that matter and will be impacted by the outcome of the situation
Ahh ahh ahh
Singing sounds that convey strong emotions and feelings of intensity
Ahhhh
A long, sustained sound that expresses a deep sense of emotion
