“‘Reelin’ sounds like a vacation from the norm. We have already gotten a huge response from just a few spins! For those on the east coast, you need a little warmth and this song will bring it.” –Matt Stone, Assistant PD/MD, 91X San Diego
Alternative rockers IRATION recently announced they would release new music this summer and, without warning, surprised their fans this week by dropping the new song “Reelin.” Having first debuted Monday morning (4/27) on San Diego’s 91X, it’s currently streaming online–with over 17,000 spins on Soundcloud in the first day–and on select radio stations including WRMR in Wilmington, NC (where they play tomorrow night), and KJEE in their hometown of Santa Barbara, CA.

“Reelin” offers IRATION fans a glimpse into their new full-length album, out later this year. For the new project, IRATION has put together a team of acclaimed collaborators including executive producer David “King David The Future” Manzoor (Lupe Fiasco, R Kelly, Lloyd), Grammy Award-nominated mixer Mark Needham (Imagine Dragons, The Killers, Fleetwood Mac) and engineer Will Brierre (Imagine Dragons, Youngblood Hawk, Chris Isaak).
“‘Reelin’ is the song we feel best encapsulates the direction of our sound on the new album,” lead singer/guitarist Micah Pueschel explains. “Big drums, hard-hitting bass and synth and rocking guitars. Turn it up in your stereo and let it work. Stoked for you to hear it!!”
The Hawaiian-bred, Santa Barbara, CA-based group is in the midst of their national headlining tour dubbed “Tales From The Sea,” before gearing up for an extensive summer festival schedule. Immediately following the “Tales From The Sea” run, they’ll perform at the Big Guava Festival May 8 in Tampa, FL, co-headline with Tribal Seeds Reggae on the Block May 9 in Orlando, FL, and co-headline alongside Slightly Stoopid the inaugural Blaze N Glory Festival May 15 in San Bernardino, CA. From there, they’ll make appearances at Hangout May 17 in Gulf Shores, AL,Cali Roots May 24 in Monterey, CA, headline the GoPro Mountain Games 5 in Vail, CO with G. Love and Special Sauce and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, and co-headline alongside Matisyahu at the Lake Tahoe Reggae Festival June 27 in Lake Tahoe, CA. The band also has a headlining show at The Beach at Mandalay Bay July 17 in Las Vegas, NV before returning for their third summer performance at the OC Fair on July 18 in Costa Mesa, CA and then onto the just-announced headlining show at San Diego State’s Open Air Theatre on July 25 featuring support from Katchafire and Hirie. Also this year, IRATION will make their debut at Outside Lands, August 7-9 in San Francisco, CA, and headline the Summer Meltdown Festival with STS9 and Tycho August 6-9 in Darrington, WA.
IRATION—Micah Pueschel (vocals/guitar), Adam Taylor (bass), Joseph Dickens (drums), Cayson Peterson (keyboard/synth) and Joseph King (engineer)–is touring behind their third full-length album AUTOMATIC, which debuted at #1 on both the Billboard and iTunes Reggae Albums charts, as well as #7 on the iTunes Overall Albums chart, #75 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and #17 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart upon its release summer 2013. AUTOMATIC has helped propel IRATION‘s career to a new level, and the response from fans, critics and industry has been overwhelmingly positive. Listen to the album here.
