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.

More Love
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't wait till it hits you
Recollection, your misconception
Obsessed, you say the green is success
Well, material gain causes serious stress
More love
Because you're living an illusion
Wake up now yes you're living in confusion
You're not a scholar
You're a waste of a teacher
Preach the dollars
You're a waste of a preacher
Love, come on, that's what we need
More love, that's what we need to succeed
Not dollars, nah, not what we need
Let's give them love so the youth can achieve
More love, come on, that's what we need
More love, that's what we need to succeed
Not dollars, nah, not what we need
Let's give them love so the youth can achieve now
Yep, you gotta see clearer
Clear on up, stay up, and stay clear of
Go back to basics, look in the mirror
You're in a dream wake up and now gear up
Come on, love, continually loving that's realer
Make up your mind and emerge as a leader
Now it connects, many many all feed off
Rise up above, 'cause the youths they feed off love
Love, come on, that's what we need
More love, that's what we need to succeed
Not dollars, nah, not what we need
Let's give them love so the youth can achieve
More love, come on, that's what we need
More love, that's what we need to succeed
Not dollars, nah, not what we need
Let's give them love so the youth can achieve now
Yep, you gotta see clearer
More love, come on, that's what we need
More love, that's what we need to succeed
Not dollars, nah, not what we need
Let's give them love so the youth can achieve now
The lyrics of Rebelution's song More Love speak to the importance of love and unity over material gain and individual success. The first verse calls out those who are consumed by the illusion of material success and warns that it will ultimately lead to stress and disillusionment. The second verse is directed at those who prioritize money and status over compassion and education, labeling them as "waste[s]". The chorus emphasizes that love is the key to success, especially when it comes to empowering and uplifting the youth. The bridge encourages listeners to reflect on their priorities and choose love and leadership over greed and self-promotion.

Just goes to show they're not doing it for the money! But to spread good vibes all the way around.
@RiskTwo

Whats amazing about the intro is the fact that its hard for the brain to know where beat 1 is without a metronome or drums. The intro riff starts on the "and" of 1 but if you havent heard the live version or if you lose focus, the riff tricks you into thinking its on beat 1. This effect makes the vocals "because youre living an illusion" (pun intended or not??? Lol) seem like they are coming from nowhere. Then the band comes in and its bliss. Curious to whether they intended this or not but the intro is literally a musical illusion hahahaha.
@cameronrobinson8650
