  • Bio

    <style> div[id="profile_bandschedule"] { display:none; } </style><br /> <p>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.</p> <br /> <p>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 garnished much radio success 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, George Clinton 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.</p> <br /> <p>IRATION continues to tour relentlessly and looks forward to their highly anticipated 2011 Festival performances. 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. </p>

Bio:

Iration is an alternative/reggae group of musicians formed in Isla Vista, CA. The group is made up of members Joseph Dickens (drums), Joseph King (Engineer), Cayson Peterson (Keyboard/Synth), Micah Pueschel (Guitar/Vox), Kai Rediske (Vocal/Percussion) and Adam Taylor (Bass). All members met while growing up in Hawaii but formed Iration after reconnecting in Santa Barbara, Ca. They have since released two full length albums, Time Bomb (2010) and No Time for Rest (2007), as well as three EP’s, New Roots (2006), Sample This EP (2008) and Fresh Grounds (2011). Time Bomb, which has sold over 28K+ copies, hit #1 on the iTunes reggae album chart and remains within the top 20 on Billboard’s Reggae Album Chart to this day. Time Bomb included: “Turn Around” (which spent 11 weeks at #1 on San Diego’s 91X, hit #1 on Riverside’s KCXX and on Santa Barbara’s KJEE, was in rotation at Honolulu’s KUCD and Sacramento’s KKDO, as well as being streamed on LA based KROQ), “Time Bomb”(which reached #1 on Santa Barbara’s KJEE), and “Falling”(the single that has moved 70K units since inclusion on Time Bomb and Sample This EP, was an iTunes Discovery Download, also reached #1 on Santa Barbara’s KJEE, and #3 on Honolulu’s KUCD). Their most recent release Fresh Grounds which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseeker’s Chart and #114 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The single from their Fresh Grounds EP “Summer Nights” reached #2 on the iTunes reggae singles chart. The true essence of Iration is best captured live where they are able to fully demonstrate their original brand of soulful, melody driven reggae and rock.

 

The band has just finished recording their 3rd full length album Automatic. The album combines elements of reggae, rock and pop to create something quite unique. Automatic includes production and instrumentation from Lincoln Parish, the young superstar guitarist of the band Cage the Elephant, as well as the band’s previous studio partner JP Hesser. The album also includes guest appearances by keyboardist Rami Jaffee (Wallflowers, Foo Fighters) and Jessy Greene (Foo Fighters, Wilco, Atmosphere) on strings. The first single from Automatic, “Porcupine,” will be released digitally September 11 2012 (iTunes), September 18 (everywhere), on the band’s own 3 Prong Records.
