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.
Lilting harmonies, great beats and a dedicated state presence focused solely on the crowd's revelry. More intoxicated individuals than you could shake a stick at but good vibes/times had by everyone. Fantastic venue (open air cobblestone courtyard) and great weather simply added to the experience.
Don't get me wrong, the entire show was incredible, but Howie and the band truly amazed me! I've been waiting to see them for so long, and they exceeded my expectations by a long shot!
The Movement should headline a show in Atlanta. 45min is not enough of them.
Great place to get close and personal to your favorite band! The green was amazing and they are ready to make it to the main stream of today's top 10 bands. I cannot wait for there new album to release!
This band is amazing. you should definitely check them out. Always a good time. Feel good music.
This was an amazing concert. The venue was a little small, but the music sounded great, and Iration played extremely well. The two groups before Iration, Through the Roots and The Movement, were also really good. I have no complaints on this concert.
I think it was a great Band very amazing. Had a great time!!
3rd time I have seen these guys. First time seeing them out of Hawaii. They did not disappoint! They played everything that you want to hear! Great set list and the whole band was out mingling with the crowd before and after their set and really interacting with their fans! Awesome group will definately try to catch another show on their tour!!!!
