Rebelution announce new album “Free Rein” out June 15, tour begins June 22

Grammy-nominated reggae/rock band Rebelution are excited to announce the forthcoming release of their sixth studio album Free Rein. The album sees the California-based band exploring new genres more so than ever before as they fuse their classic reggae sound with R&B, rock, jazz, and folk. While still rooted in the Jamaican inspiration that Rebelution’s songs have always paid homage to, Free Rein takes experimental leaps, welcoming old fans and new audiences alike. The band teamed up with acclaimed Jamaican producers Don Corleon (Rihanna, Sean Paul) and Winta James (Damian Marley, Chronixx) on three of the 12 exciting new tracks. The collection is out June 15^th as a joint venture between their 87 Music label and NYC-based Easy Star Records.

In conjunction with today’s announcement, the band has also released the first single from the album, “Celebrate.” The upbeat song stays true to Rebelution’s classic reggae sound and holds a strong message by paying homage to life, love and the oneness of artist and audience. The track premiered yesterday exclusively via Billboard! Rebelution plans to release a new single from Free Rein on the last Friday of every month until the album release. Like what you hear so far?

This summer, the touring juggernauts will embark on the Free Rein Summer Tour (kicking off on June 22^nd) with special guests, Stephen Marley, Common Kings, Zion I and DJ Mackle. Tickets and VIP merch bundles are on sale HERE, and the full tour routing can be found below.

The past couple of years have been BIG for a band that’s fourteen years into an effervescent career. Following the release of 2016’s critically acclaimed album, Falling Into Place, the group scored their first Grammy nomination in the category of Best Reggae Album. They also expanded their brand outside of the music world with the launch of their own customized cannabis oil battery pen, herb vaporizer and oil, which is currently available in select dispensaries in California, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon – PRESS HERE for more information and stay tuned for more announcements (and more music!) in the coming weeks.

Rebelution is singer/guitarist/lyricist Eric Rachmany, keyboardist Rory Carey, drummer Wesley Finley and bassist Marley D. Williams.
