Santa Barbara-based reggae band Rebelution announced today that their long awaited sophomore full-length album ÔÇťBright Side of LifeÔÇŁ will be released in stores nationwide and digital worldwide on August 4, 2009. The album follows up their award winning debut album ÔÇťCourage to Grow,ÔÇŁ which garnered mass downloads and radio play on monster radio stations such as San FranciscoÔÇÖs Live 105 where their single ÔÇťSafe and SoundÔÇŁ was played on heavy rotation, with spins on San DiegoÔÇÖs 91X, and Los AngelesÔÇÖ KROQ. The album was also selected as iTunes EditorÔÇÖs Choice for Best Reggae Album of 2007, and has been in the top 10 iTunes Reggae album sales since its release two years ago. In addition, ÔÇťCourage to GrowÔÇŁ remained in the Billboard Top 10 Reggae Chart for 36 weeks, and peaked at #4.
Now for the summer of 2009, the band is ready to unleash 12 new signature tracks blending their cohesive mix of reggae, rock, and hip-hop influences in a calliope awash of front man Eric RachmanyÔÇÖs Santana-esque guitar flurries, Marley D. WilliamsÔÇÖ solid and attacking bass lines, the psychedelic and tasteful piano, keyboard and Hammond b-3 styling of Rory Carey and the jazz rock fusion of Wesley FinneyÔÇÖs finesse drumming and percussion.
Of the new album, Rebelution shares, ÔÇťAfter the positive response from fans and critics for ÔÇśCourage to GrowÔÇÖ and touring in support of it for the last few years, we are glad to finally reveal our new material to the fans who have waited so patiently. WeÔÇÖve played many of the new songs live, but the recorded versions will have that ÔÇÖstudio magicÔÇÖ from all the time weÔÇÖve put into them, and there are surprise songs that people havenÔÇÖt heard yet.ÔÇŁ
The release of ÔÇťBright Side of LifeÔÇŁ marks the first release under RebelutionÔÇÖs newly founded record label, 87 Music in association with Controlled Substance Sound Labs and Silverback Music, the California based music collective, which is also home to artists Slightly Stoopid and Pepper, and their respective artist imprints. The band notes that their second album will show their growth in maturity musically, with a more polished sound with flares of new styles that fans and future fans have yet to hear.
For the rest of 2009 moving into 2010, Rebelution plans on touring to follow up their previous national efforts which included sold out shows at venues such as The House of Blues San Diego, Anaheim and Los Angeles as well as The Fillmore in San Francisco and more in Florida, Colorado, Texas and South Carolina. They have already shared the stage with notable artists such as The Offspring, 311, Slightly Stoopid, Willie Nelson, Damian Marley, Bob Dylan and Ludacris. Rebelution will also be recording an ÔÇťiTunes Live Exclusive at the Palms in Las VegasÔÇŁ feature later on this year.
