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 ↴
Oh ya sit back and relax and get comfortable,
Now close your eyes,
Now make it right
Don′t point your finger at me,
Don't you know it′s you why you're suffering,
You're why you′re suffering
Don't you know it′s you why you're suffering,
You′re why you're suffering
I′ve got my reasons to live,
Don't you know it's you why you′re suffering,
You′re why you're suffering
I′ve got my mind set at ease,
Don't you know, it′s you why you're suffering,
You′re why you're suffering
Go on sit back and relax and get comfortable,
Yes sit back and relax and get comfortable,
Now close your eyes,
Now make it right
The opening lines of Rebelution's "Suffering Remix" invites listeners to sit back, get comfortable, and relax. The song then goes on to address the root cause of human suffering, which according to the lyrics, is often a result of pointing fingers and blaming others. The singer encourages the listener to accept responsibility for their own suffering and to take action to make things right.
Throughout the song, Rebelution emphasizes the need for self-reflection and introspection. The lines "I've got my mind set at ease, I've got my reasons to live" suggest that finding peace and meaning in life requires an internal shift in attitude, rather than relying on external circumstances to bring happiness.
Overall, the message of the song is one of personal responsibility and empowerment. By acknowledging our own role in creating suffering, we can take steps to alleviate it and find greater happiness and fulfillment in life.
