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.

Safe and Sound Dub
Rebelution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll be dreaming safe and sound
You better know why
Baby that's all I got
The lyrics of Rebelution's song "Safe and Sound Dub" suggest that when we come down, we will be in a state of safety and peace. The song is perhaps conveying the message that folks should slow down, persevere and see things through because at the end of the day it will be alright. The lyrics are almost hypnotic and give off a calming, relaxed vibe which helps to ease the listener's worries.
The verses of the song code-switch from the idea, emphasized by the percussion-heavy rhythm, that we must be cautious and protected from the dangers surrounding us, to the idea of a serene utopia where everything is pleasant, free of danger and safe. Metaphorically speaking it is like being amidst a storm but really safe and sound within a structure.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Safe and Sound Dub" seek to offer listeners a sense of assurance and hopefully, take away their anxiety of an uncertain future. The song suggests that, regardless of what's happening around us, we can find solace and security within ourselves and things will be okay in the end.
