    Silverback Professional Artist Management's Jon Phillips said he was impressed the first time he saw Rebelution live five years ago and that feeling has continued no matter what type of crowd the grassroots reggae band plays to.


    "When I saw them play the Bonnaroo main stage right before Blues Traveler a couple of years ago, there was a huge crowd of Rebelution fans there and the band delivered," Phillips told Pollstar. "Seeing the reaction of festival crowds and integrating a little bit of the improvisational, jam-band audience has also had a lot of influence on the music."


    The lineup of vocalist/guitarist Eric Rachmany, bassist Marley D. Williams, drummer Wes Finley and keyboardist Rory Carey has been grabbing attention since forming in 2004 in Santa Barbara, Calif. The addition of Khris Royal on saxophone has further defined the band's sound and appeal.


    Phillips and co-managers Matt Phillips and Dean Raissen, and Paradigm's Aaron Pinkus set to work putting Rebelution on the road with acts such as The Expendables, SOJA and Slightly Stoopid.


    Performances at festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Wakarusa and All Good soon followed.


    "Obviously, in this day and age, when something's good people can spread the word," Phillips said. "Their songs really resonate with people. They have positive lyrics and really, really catchy melodies."


    Meanwhile, record sales helped to boost the band's fanbase, with Rebelution's 2007 debut, Courage To Grow, picked as an iTunes Editor's Choice, followed by 2009's Bright Side of Life. The band's most recent release, Peace of Mind, debuted at No. 13 on Nielsen SoundScan's Top 200 chart.


    But playing live is where Rebelution really shines.


    "They've been out there working hard, and to me, there's no substitute for that," Phillips explained. "[Rebelution] can play with a lot of different groups and improvise a lot of different ways, which makes [it] unique."


    Rebelution is on the road through March 31. Phillips said plans for a summer outdoor tour of all major markets are in the works.

  • REBELUTION CELEBRATES HIGHEST BILLBOARD TOP 200 ALBUM CHART DEBUT WITH "PEACE OF MIND" AT #13

    Band Currently on Nationwide Headlining Tour

    Marking the highest chart debut of Rebelution's career, Peace of Mind has debuted at the #13
    spot on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart after it's January 10th release. The album debuted
    at #4 on the iTunes 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 chart. The
    Santa Barbara, CA based band released Peace of Mind through their own label 87 Music in
    partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs. Peace of Mind was released as a multi-
    length triple album which includes Peace of Mind: Acoustic as well as Peace of Mind: Dub.

    Rebelution kicked off their "Peace of Mind Tour" earlier this month stopping at New York City's
    Best Buy Theater and a sold out 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".

  • NEW TRIPLE ALBUM "PEACE OF MIND" ANNOUNCED FOR JAN 10TH RELEASE

    On January 10, 2012, Rebelution will release their 3rd studio album, Peace Of Mind, through their own label 87 Music. The label, in partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs, will simultaneously release two additional versions of the entire record as a multi-length triple album.
    Peace of Mind: Acoustic will feature all twelve original album tracks stripped down acoustic as well as Peace of Mind: Dub remixed by Easy Star's Michael Goldwasser (Dub Side of The Moon, Radiodread, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Dub Band).

    Beginning today, fans can get a free download of all three versions of Peace of Mind's first single, the upbeat "Sky is the Limit" at www.rebelutionmusic.com

    "It's been two and a half years since our last album and we are very excited to release new material. The triple-album is definitely a progression musically and genre wise from our past albums, while still grounded in reggae,", says the band.

    Expanding beyond their usual self-production, Rebelution collaborated with five different producers including Goldwasser (Easy Star All-Stars), Amplive (Zion-I), Yeti Beats (Kool Keith, George Clinton), Keith Armstrong and Errol Brown (Stephen, Ziggy, Damian, and Bob Marley), building upon their signature style and venturing into different musical landscapes.

    From the opening horns on "Sky is the Limit" to the lush strings incorporated into the gentle "Route Around" to the driving guitar and synths throughout "Lady In White", the band has built upon their sound spanning a number of genres while remaining true to their reggae roots.

    Stay tuned for more announcements.
