Iration
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 crowds of fans', both younger and older, hands in the air and heads bobbing.
In 2007, they recorded and released their first full length album, No Time for Rest, at Castaway 7 Studios in Ventura, Ca, which featured one of the last recorded performances by reggae legend Mikey Dread, who produced accomplished musicians such as The Clash and UB40. Their single "Cookie Jar" reached number one in Hawaii on 93.9 DaBeat and was featured on Fuel TV's Triple Crown of Surfing recap. Their music was also featured on MTV shows Maui Fever and Living Lahaina.In the spring of 2008, IRATION embarked on a national tour titled "Playboys in Paradise" in support of the band Pepper. They traveled 16,000 miles and played in front of numerous sold out crowds. On October 3, 2008, IRATION released their latest collection of recordings on their Sample This EP – Sample This, is a four song EP featuring two songs, "I'm With You" and "Electricity," which were co-written with a fellow local Hawaiian musician, songwriter, and Grammy winning producer Charles Brotman of Hawaiian recoding company Palm Records. Sample This EP also features IRATION's smash hit "Falling," which has been added to several radio stations in California, Hawaii and Guam. The Sample This EP debuted at #3 on iTunes top reggae albums - "Falling" remains in the top 50 reggae songs on iTunes as of September 14, 2010. IRATION has been MySpace's #1 top unsigned reggae artists for almost all of 2009. "Falling" currently has over four and a half million plays on MySpace with over nine and a half million plays total.
In 2009, "Falling" was added to Santa Barbara's modern rock station, KJEE FM, and had begun to receive specialty plays on XTRA FM, San Diego's alternative rock station 91X (as well as No Time For Rest's "Cookie Jar"). In the beginning of ‘09, IRATION accomplished sell-out shows at San Luis Obispo's Down Town Brew, West Hollywood's famed the Roxy Theater several times, and San Diego's House of Blues. IRATION also performed at KJEE's Summer Round UP at the Santa Barbara Bowl with Kings of Leon – before heading back to the studio to finish their album Time Bomb. The second half of 2009 was all about touring. IRATION kicked of their summer touring in August by supporting Rebelution's national "Bright Side of Life Tour." In the fall they performed at Los Angeles' Sunset Strip Music Festival, headlined San Diego's Paddle for Clean Water Festival presented by 91X FM, as well as supporting Pepper's national "In the Trenches Tour." IRATION continued touring through the fall supporting 11 dates with jam band legends Umphrey's McGee. They ended the year with four very special California headlining dates.
For IRATION, 2010 started off with big bang! By supporting 47 shows in 52 days on The Expendables' "Winter Black Out Tour," the Hawaiian bred boys proved they could hang touring even in the harshest of conditions. On On March 9, IRATION released their highly anticipated album Time Bomb, via a one week iTunes exclusive debut, peaking at #40 on iTunes' overall music chart, and "Falling" was iTunes' "Discovery Download" of the week. Time Bomb has been as high as #1 on the US iTunes reggae album music chart and their title track "Time Bomb" has been as has high as #12 on the US iTunes reggae single chart. The title track "Time Bomb" has been added to and spun on several radio stations in HI including Q103 FM, Native FM, Da Beat FM, as well as in KJEE FM (modern rock – Santa Barbara, CA) and landed "Song of the Day" on 91XTRA FM (Alternative - San Diego. CA). Time Bomb debuted at #2 on Billboard's reggae album chart and #30 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" album chart. Time Bomb has sold approximately 10,000 copies and 30,000 single track downloads to date.
IRATION released their single "Summer Nights" August 17, 2010, which debuted at #2 on the iTunes reggae singles chart in the US, through their newly formed indie record label: 3 Prong Records. They closed out 2010 with their "Lei'd Back" national 30+ major market headlining tour. Recent standout shows include an NCAA volleyball tournament show for CBS Sports TV at San Diego's Wavehouse, the KJEE FM annual Summer Round Up at the Santa Barbara Bowl, the music festival stage at Hurley's US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, and Cyprus Hill's annual Smoke Out Festival alongside Incubus, Manu Chao, and many more. Recently, IRATION was named one of iTunes' "Best Upcoming Artists."
In 2011, IRATION proves they waste no time by releasing another record, Fresh Grounds EP – which will include their most recent release, "Summer Nights." The worldwide release, is scheduled for an iTunes one week debut exclusive Feb 1, and will be available digitally in stores everywhere online Feb 8. IRATION will once again hit the road starting Jan. 13 supporting 18 dates on friends Rebelution's Winter Greens Tour including two dates at the House of Blues Chicago – continuing on throughout the country in 20+ more east coast and southern markets on IRATION's own. 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 will continue to make original music.

Tomorrows Bad Seeds
Hermosa Beach, California is where Tomorrows Bad Seeds found fertile ground in which to grow. Originally planted in 2004 where the beach meets the streets, Tomorrows Bad Seeds is a fundamental development in the reproduction of conscious music worldwide! Meet the Seeds: Moises Juarez (lead vocals), Sean Chapman (vocals/guitar), Mathew McEwan (vocals/guitar), Pat Salmon (drums), and Andre Davis (bass) make up the multi-cultural musical phenomenon that is Tomorrows Bad Seeds.
Blazing through the states germinating the masses, Tomorrows Bad Seeds is spreading like wildfire across the nation and quickly establishing themselves as one of Southern California's most viable and relative bands of today. Tomorrows Bad Seeds' live show provides a high- energy mix of rock, soul, pop, punk, reggae and hip hop guaranteed to rock, move and inspire your soul.
Since the band's inception, they have shared the stage with the likes of UB40, Slightly Stoopid, Pennywise, Pepper, The Wailers, Steel Pulse, Half Pint, The Expendables, Hed(pe), Eek-A- Mouse, Pato Banton, John Brown's Body, The Aggrolites and Fishbone, just to name a few. Tomorrows Bad Seeds continue to tour extensively, amassing a large and loyal grassroots following, which is rapidly gaining momentum.
In this increasingly uncertain economical and political world we live in, Tomorrows Bad Seeds prove not to just be extremely talented musicians, vocalists and entertainers as a whole, but entrepreneurs as well. Creating UrbanTone Records as a vehicle to spread their seed, the band released their debut album Early Prayers in June 2007, featuring the singles Rhyme & Reason, Vices, Warrior Poet and Love Street. With nothing more than some blogs, newsletters, bulletin posts and the wind, Tomorrows Bad Seeds have managed to sell more than 50,000 downloads and this number continues to grow!
Following an UNPLUGGED tour in the first quarter of 2010, Tomorrows Bad Seeds will release their much anticipated sophomore album entitled Sacred For Sale this Spring.

Members of the band Evan Hawkins (vocals/guitar), Taylor Boatwright (drums), Bryan Jackson (bass), Brady O'rear (rhythm keys), and Chris Cruz (lead guitar) combine their musical talent and experience to create an innovative sound that is truly satisfying. Whether it may be their uplifting lyrics or catchy melodies, these guys know how to entertain a group of listeners of any size. The guys met one after another as a sign of fate and have been jamming consistently ever since. They played their first show after only two months of practicing together, and have played over 50 shows since then, up and down the coast of California. From San Diego To Chico, California, and through out parts of Arizona they have rocked crowd's in the thousands. With hopes of obtaining a record label and goals to record their full length album.
