The Band


We ARE IRATION

We Hail From the 808 State of Hawaii.

Iration is an alternative/reggae group originally formed in Isla Vista, CA. Their deep-rooted island influence and Hawaii upbringing is fused with elements of rock, pop and soul to create smooth, uplifting original sounds. The group is made up of members Micah Pueschel (Guitar/Lead Vocals), Adam Taylor (Bass), Joseph Dickens (Drums), Cayson Peterson (Keyboard/Synth), Micah Brown (Guitar/Vocals), and Drake Peterson (Trumpet, Keys).

Now, after almost two decades creating music together, Iration has racked up more than 1 billion streams, topped Billboard charts and established themselves as one of the most beloved reggae-rock bands to emerge from the SoCal scene. 

After riding the wave of their 2020 release Coastin’, their upcoming 8th studio album, Daytrippin is set to release October 6th, 2023. The album’s title track “Daytrippin” released on June 9th accompanied with their official music video featuring desert visuals and a slightly dazed storyline from Joshua Tree. Watch the video now on YouTube. Additional sneak peeks previously dropped this year include “IRL” and “New Style.”

“Daytrippin is a return to our roots. We set out to strike a balance between polished studio production and the energy of a live show. We leaned on our reggae and rock influences to find a natural evolution from earlier albums like Time Bomb and Hotting Up,” says Iration lead vocalist, Micah Pueschel.

Iration performs coast-to-coast in 2023 in support of all things Daytrippin, headlining their “IRL Fall Tour,” an 18-date trek across the US with special guests Artikal Sound System and Cydeways, in addition to joining Rebelution’s Good Vibes Summer Tour for 44 dates at amphitheaters and venues across the country June-August. 

The band has been touring nationally since 2008, performing at festivals nationwide from Lollapalooza to Sunfest and Hangout, closing stages at festivals like Bottlerock and Outside Lands. “Every night we create a little bit of paradise for the people that are coming to the show,”  Micah Brown told editors at Billboard. 

Iration’s first four albums reached No. 1 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. Early fan-favorite songs "Time Bomb" and "Falling" formed the foundation of Iration’s signature sound, and reached RIAA Certified Gold Status in 2020. In the years since, the group’s catalog hit the airwaves of alternative rock radio stations nationwide, including the world-famous KROQ in Los Angeles, and earned the ear of critics at American Songwriter, The Noise and All Music amongst many more.
