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.
