About

The islands of Hawaii are not only the biggest influence on IRATION's sound they are home to all
of its members. IRATION was born from a love of all types of music and a desire to create
something new. Elements of reggae, rock, and pop are mixed with keyboard/synth and melodic
vocal lines to create something truly unique. IRATION is best heard in a live setting where you
can truly experience the full spectrum of their range. They have proven to truly have an
understanding of modern and traditional performance techniques that keep young and old fans'
hands in the air and heads bobbing.

 

In 2007, they recorded and released their first full length album, No Time for Rest, which
featured one of the last recorded performances by reggae legend Mikey Dread, who produced
accomplished musicians such as The Clash and UB40. Since then IRATION has released several
more recordings: Sample This EP, Time Bomb LP, and Fresh Grounds EP - which included several
songs that had much radio success (Time Bomb LP's "Turn Around" spent ten weeks at #1 on San
Diego's 91X FM) that boosted the band's popularity and opened the door for TV and other
media placements. They have been lucky enough to share stages with Kings of Leon, 311,
Incubus, Bush and many other talented acts in venues such as Santa Barbara Bowl and The
Wiltern Theater, as well as at events such as Cypress Hills Annual Smoke Out Festival, West
Beach Music Festival and Sunset Strip Music Festival.

 

After wrapping up their 2011 summer, which included festival performances at Lollapalooza,
Wakarusa, and 91X X Fest, IRATION continues to tour relentlessly and looks forward to
embarking on their 2nd annual Lei'd Back Tour this fall. These Hawaiian-raised naturally talented
musicians look forward to spreading their original sound, aloha spirit, and cutting edge surf
culture as far as possible and continuing to make original music.

    Remarkable Concert!

    by ClassifiedFlow on 11/16/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    Wow. Through the Roots, Tomorrows Bad Seeds, and Iration were all spectacular. It was really an honor seeing them all live. The only complaint I have is that I didn't get to hear all of Iration's songs, which may be an unreasonable request haha. I had a great time.

    The room was full and the air was thick. It was exactly what a reggae concert in San Francisco should be. The Regency venue was awesome and added great ambiance to the show. If you are a fan of any of these three bands - I highly recommend seeing them live. They do not disappoint.

    Iration stole the show.... As usual

    by Anonymous on 11/15/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    The opener Through The Roots actually surprised me, these guys put on an AMAZING show! What a way to start the night off! Tomorrows Bad Seeds was the next to perform.... Gotta say they have the most rocking drummer in the reggae/rock genre! Pat is an absolute BEAST up there! Besides a few minor audio mishaps in the first song these guys were amazing as well! And finally, the highlight of the night was Iration! Their live sound is incomparable anywhere in this genre. Blowing Rebelution out of the water in my honest opinion. Well rehearsed and all around awesome band. I will catch every show I can from these guys. Worth every penny

    Tomorrows Bad Seeds and Iration are AWESOME!

    by BridgetMac on 11/15/11The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco

    This concert was amazing. I had never heard of Through the Roots before and they were great! Iration was stupendous as they always are, but since I had previously seen Iration a couple times before I was mainly there to see Tomorrow's Bad Seeds. I absolutely loved them live!!! I've been listening to TBS for a couple years now and they have become my favorite band of all time. Moises is an amazing singer with such a breath taking voice even in person. TBS's drummer is wild and enthusiastic, putting on a great show, while the bass player Dre is wild and funny giving the crowd a personal connection to the band. Overall, this was an amazing show and I would experience it again in a heartbeat. The three bands are all very talented and great to watch!

    I loved this show! It was amazing from start to finish! I danced all night. The crowd was friendly and chill. And surprisingly it didn't get too hot in there. Great times and great bands.

    Iration brought some warm positive vibes to a cold Denver night! The Bluebird was the perfect venue for this band.

    I've seen Iration in Chicago, Detroit and LA and every time has been AMAZING. The venue was so small that standing anywhere I could see the stage perfectly and had enough room to dance. They played a lot of songs from the album Time Bomb and didn't do an encore but I still had a great time and can't wait to see them again!

    Sick Iration show

    by Brawny33 on 10/21/11Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    Show was great. Great opening bands in Through the Roots and Tomorrows Bad Seeds. Guys just killed it. Iration put on such an excellent show. Had the crowd going during a cover of "Seven Nation Army." Absolutely crazy cover of BFI's "Dancing By Myself." Soooo good. And all of their awesome staples in "Electricity," "Falling," and their new hit "Undertow."

    Energy, Energy!

    by NFreely on 3/23/11Jannus Live - St Petersburg

    The Energy at this show was phenomenal. I went there to see Ballyhoo, but all the opening bands were great too. As far as Iration went, I wasn’t really sure about them. I really wasn’t too familiar with them, and by the time they came on I was admittedly was buzzed up. I almost felt like they went on too late, but wouldn't trade in the opening bands either. If your a guy and you want to meet some cool chicks this is the show to go to (you lady's too). It never felt too crowded as well, making for a comfortable place to dance and mingle. Over all it was a great show, the energy and the people there really set it apart from other shows. It was a venue show, but felt more like a backyard party surrounded by friends.
