Iration Releases ‘Hotting Up’

The Isla Vista–birthed band just released its latest album, Hotting Up, in August. An accompaniment of keyboards, a laid-back beat, and youthful lyrics creates a relaxed vibe for which Iration is known. However, unlike on previous albums, Hotting Up’s sound is more a blend of reggae and punk, with stronger vocals and guitar. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a beach campfire or a late night at the skate park. Standout tracks include “Reelin,” “Midnight,” and “Guns Out.”
