Artist Profile: Rebelution

     Basically, Rebelution is the four chillest white guys you've ever met. Just look at the facts: They all graduated from UC Santa Barbara, playing local shows and eventually releasing an original EP. Eric Rachmany, the vocalist and lead guitarist was a religious studies major. Wesley Finley, the drummer, majored in anthropology. The bass man Marley Williams majored in film studies. And last but not least, Rory Carey on the keyboards was a business major. Ok so the business major isn't as chill, but he must have been friends with the other guys for a reason right? I mean, just check out this group pic:

 

Still not convinced that these guys are chill? This next pic should clear things up for you pretty quick:

Yeah, that's right, they're just straight up chilling in front of a bunch of mountains. And Williams does appear to be wearing the same exact outfit as in the first picture. That's how you know.

They also have a couple other guys that tour with them (Khris Royal and Zach Meyerowitz), who we can safely assume are equally chill. But let's focus on the music. These guys are dedicated to making more than just music; they create beautiful sound. Don't believe me? Just listen through the first chorus of Ordinary Girl. Rachmany's voice sounds like if a saxophone and an acoustic guitar had a baby. Listen to their music, and you will understand the term vibes. Here's a few of my other favorite Rebelution tunes:

Feeling Alright

Good Vibes (ft. Lutan Fyah)

Route Around

Honeypot

Bright Side of Life

I could keep going, The truth is, these guys can do no wrong when they step on the stage or into the recording booth. You could close your eyes and click on any song that shows up under Rebelution on Spotify and you won't be disappointed. Even if you went deaf you could enjoy this music by feeling the bumping, rhythmic bass pumped out by your stereo like that kid in Goodbye, Mr. Chips (side note, good movie, very little to do with reggae. like nothing to do with reggae). 

Can't get enough? Want to see Rebelution in concert? My sources say they're awesome live. Ok, my source is my girlfriend but I trust her and so should you. Getting too personal? Probably. Anyway, here's a link to their website. It's just as chill as you would imagine it:
