Iration Press: There’s something to be said for any band that can capture the undivided attention of a crowd full of drunken Isla Vistans, especially when there are kegs to be tapped and cops to avoid. But roots reggae rockers Iration manage to do it on a regular basis.Iration’s seven members all hail from Hawai‘i, but have since settled in equally sunny Santa Barbara. Their music bears the influence of both beachy locales, with infectious beats, flowing harmonies, and track titles like “Walk of Shame” and “Downtown.” Their lyrics are simple but effective, as they weave narratives that are as entertaining for their content as for their rhythmic delivery. A close listening to their recently released No Time for Rest reveals influences that range from dub to classic rock, blues to drum and bass. Iration may call its style “new roots,” but it can best be described as the kind of music that begs to be danced to. Transitioning seamlessly from a bass-heavy rock sound to drum-driven reggae rhythms, Iration proves its catchy beats and creative compositions defy easy characterization. Perhaps the best indicator of Iration’s range is the impressive list of artists with whom it has shared the stage: Pepper, Steel Pulse, Don Carlos, The Expendables, Yellowman, Mikey Dread, Natural Vibrations, and Ooklah the Moc, just to name a few. The band is currently touring the California coast to support its new album. And with an October 10 show at the Elephant Bar in Goleta and upcoming appearances at Velvet Jones and the Santa Barbara Beach Music Festival scheduled, Santa Barbarans looking to experience Santa Barbara’s very own brand of reggae done right have plenty to look forward to. Visit myspace.com/iration. -SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT 9/27/07The floor was packed at Velvet Jones last Thursday night for Santa Barbara’s rock/reggae staple Iration, who stopped by to say goodbye before heading out on a national tour with Pepper (of “Give It Up” fame). In typical Velvet fashion, although slated to play at 11 p.m., the band took the stage just before midnight, but had everyone dancing within the first 10 seconds of their bass-heavy opener “Meditation.” Led by the vocal stylings of Micah Pueschel, Kai Rediske, and the charismatic Catlin Peterson, the crowd sang along for “Heavy,” “All Night,” and the song that should probably be adopted as the S.B. college student anthem, “Downtown.” All hail from the island of Hawai‘i and first started playing as a Bob Marley cover band when they moved to Santa Barbara. After solidifying members Adam Taylor (bass), Joe Dickens (drums), Cayson Peterson (keyboards), and Joseph King (synth), Iration began writing their own songs and quickly gained a substantial following on the Islands and in California, playing the backyard parties that defined weekends for most of us Isla Vista-dwelling party-goers who provided inspiration for tongue-in-cheek songs like “Walk of Shame.” What sets Iration apart from the typical reggae band is their significant rock feel. Heavy percussion and deep bass lines define songs like “Fire,” which lead singer Pueschel said comes from listening to the energy of bands like Led Zeppelin and Metallica. The rootsy, romantic side to their music appealed to the females on the floor Thursday night, leading some ladies to dance their way onstage during “Electricity.” Dimmed lights and the bluesy, sensual “Wasting Time” forced this reviewer to find a way to hold a beer, scribble on a notepad, and sway simultaneously, and had more than one girl slow-dancing with a pulsating speaker. With two CDs and plans to head back into the studio this June, more than 25,000 votes on mtv2ontherise.com, and the excitement of covering 16,000 miles in five weeks with Pepper, Iration seem poised to spread their music to the masses. And with good music and good looks, we can’t help but wish them good luck! -SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT 4/10/08Their music channels the ghosts of traditional dub roots influences, with ethereal keyboard-synth production that lends modernity to their unique triple-frontman vocal threat.
