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.

Old School Feeling
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I need it bad
One drop for my emptiness
Yeah, I need it bad
Lovers Rock take away my stress
Yeah, I need it bad
Let's take it back
So I forget
Play me something with that old school feeling
Run it back again, come on, run it back again
Play me something with that old school feeling
Run it back again, come on, run it back again
Flashback to 1995, I was a youth
Testing the water doing things I shouldn't do
I had no plan and no timing and no clue
Sometimes it only takes a song just to cool down the mood
I know I got a real solution to the problem
Cool my emotions when it's hot
Took a minute but we got down to the bottom
To cool it down, and that's just what we want
Play me something with that old school feeling
Run it back again, come on, run it back again
Play me something with that old school feeling
Run it back again, come on, run it back again
I think you know just what I need
And I need it bad
One drop for my emptiness
Yeah, I need it bad
Lovers Rock take away my stress
Yeah, I need it bad
Let's take it back
So I forget
Hey there, DJ, can you take my request?
Play me something with that old school feeling
Run it back again, come on, run it back again
Play me something with that old school feeling
Run it back again, come on, run it back again

Flashback to 1995, I was a youth
I'm reminiscing about my younger years in 1995
Testing the water doing things I shouldn't do
Experimenting with actions that were not appropriate or wise
I had no plan and no timing and no clue
I was completely unprepared and unaware of what to do
Sometimes it only takes a song just to cool down the mood
Occasionally, a song alone is enough to calm or relax the atmosphere
I know I got a real solution to the problem
I'm aware that I possess a genuine remedy for the issue
Cool my emotions when it's hot
Subdue my feelings when they become intense or overwhelming
Took a minute but we got down to the bottom
It took some time, but we finally reached the underlying cause or essence
To cool it down, and that's just what we want
In order to calm or relax the situation, which is precisely what we desire
