REBELUTION’S “PEACE OF MIND” DEBUTS AT #13 ON BILLBOARD TOP 200 ALBUM CHART; HIGHEST DEBUT OF BAND’S CAREER

Band Currently on Nationwide Headlining Tour

Santa Barbara, California based group Rebelution are today celebrating the highest debut chart position of their career – the #13 CD on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart .  Peace of Mind, the bands third studio CD, also stands at #1 on Billboard’s Reggae Chart and #8 on Digital Albums chart and debuted at #4 on the iTunes Album chart. The band has previously had four Top 10 albums on the Reggae chart and their 2009 release Bright Side of Life debuted at No. 54 on the Top 200. Peace of Mind was released as a multi-length triple album, which includes Peace of Mind: Acoustic as well as Peace of Mind: Dub through the band’s label 87 Music in partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs.

“Reaching these chart positions highlights our fans dedication and support. As an independent and tour driven band in an era where music sales are decreasing, we are thrilled to have impacted the album charts and at a much higher position than our past albums. Even after giving away many of the songs for free leading up to the release, people still went out and purchased the deluxe version of the album. We are so appreciative and excited to share this new music with everyone,” says the band.

Rebelution kicked off their “Peace of Mind Tour” earlier this month at New York City’s Best Buy Theater and promptly sold-out their show at Philly’s The Electric Factory. The tour will make stops in a total of 42 cities across the country including The Hollywood Palladium, Denver’s The Fillmore, The Fox Theatre in Oakland, and Cannery Ballroom in Nashville amongst others. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the band’s website.

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.
