I’ve been listening to Iration for years and it’s inspiring to follow the band’s continued rise and consistent ability to release reggae, rock and pop blended music that brings fans an amazing sense of zen and happiness. The band’s new live album, “Backyard Sessions: Malibu Edition” shows off Iration’s togetherness, incredible songwriting and brings new life into fan favorite songs.

Iration takes us a nostalgic trip in “Coastin’ - Live” and frontman Micah Pueschel shows off his silky smooth vocals and reggae guitar. I love the percussion of this track as it sets the album’s chill vibes.

Special bands bring all the feels and immediately transport you to your happy place. This is exactly how I feel when I listen to “Guava Lane - Live”. Iration truly blends island reggae and Cali reggae and acoustic instruments fit their laid back songs perfectly.

The lively keys and horns get “Daylight Saving - Live” grooving. Pueschel’s vocals are unbelievable in this song and guitarist and vocalist Micah Brown compliments Pueschel so well!

Iration writes beautiful lyrics and I love the visual aspects of “Move Forward - Live” that remind us that we can push past times of pain and reach for happier days ahead. Adam Taylor drops a grooving bass line on this song like usual!
