Solution

Rebelution se formó en la ciudad universitaria de Isla Vista, California, en 2004. Los cinco miembros originales de la banda eran Eric Rachmany, Matt Velasquez, Rory Carey, Marley D. Williams y Wesley Finley, todos estudiantes de la Universidad de California, Santa Bárbara. A lo largo de 2004-2005, Rebelution comenzó a ganar impulso a través de la constante realización de shows locales y la publicación independiente de un EP. Los cuatro miembros actuales se graduaron de UC Santa Bárbara, obteniendo títulos en estudios religiosos (Rachmany), antropología (Finley), estudios de cine (Williams) y economía empresarial (Carey).

Rebelution lanzó su primer álbum completo, Courage to Grow, el 8 de junio de 2007, que se convertiría en el álbum revelación de la banda. El álbum fue elogiado por sus melodías ingeniosas, letras socialmente conscientes y habilidades musicales inteligentes. Courage to Grow logró una gran cantidad de descargas y reproducciones en la radio en estaciones como Live 105 de San Francisco, donde su sencillo "Safe and Sound" se reprodujo en alta rotación, con reproducciones en 91X de San Diego y KROQ de Los Ángeles. El álbum fue seleccionado como la Elección del Editor de iTunes para el Mejor Álbum de Reggae de 2007. Además, Courage to Grow alcanzó el #4 en la lista de los Mejores Álbumes de Reggae de Billboard. Sin embargo, Velasquez, uno de los dos vocalistas, dejó la banda después del lanzamiento de Courage to Grow debido al agotamiento del riguroso estilo de vida de las giras, dejando a Rebelution como una banda de cuatro miembros.
