Reggae-influenced alternative rock band IRATION has officially released their new single “Borderlines” across all music platforms along with a lyric video for the thought-provoking song, with lyrics such as “Locked up and I don’t know why, captive and I’m hardly me/I bet you’ve never seen a world like this, a new reality.” The lyric video for “Borderlines” has already garnered over 47,000 total views in a week.

 “‘Borderlines’ is a song that crosses into new territory both stylistically and subject-wise,” shares the band. “In a divided country/world, it’s always helpful to look at conflict from the opposing POV and ask ‘Why?’.”

“Borderlines” is quickly gaining momentum at radio nationwide. The single–which has already hit #62 on the Mediabase Alternative Chart–is currently in rotation at XTRA San Diego (91X), WSFS Miami (104.3 The Shark), KXTE Las Vegas (X107.5), KKDO Sacramento (Radio 94.7), KFRR Fresno (New Rock 104.1), WEQX Albany (102.7) and KYRK Corpus Christi (106.5 The Shark), with spins at WRFF Philadelphia (Radio 104.5), WWDC Washington, DC (DC101), WRDA Atlanta (Radio 105.7), KCJK Kansas City (X105.1), KUCD Honolulu (Star 101.9) and WKZQ Myrtle Beach (96.1), among others. KXTE X107.5’s Program Director/afternoon host Ross Mahoney praised the song saying, “‘Borderlines’ is a super infectious song that you will sing along with during the first listen…Iration is an amazing band at the top of their game.”

The new track follows IRATION’s previous single “Fly With Me,” which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Reggae Songs chart upon its May 19 release, and has accumulated over 1.2 million total streams to date. The lyric video for “Fly With Me” has been viewed over 445,000 times on YouTube and Facebook combined; click hereto watch. Both songs will appear on the band’s forthcoming studio album via their own label, Three Prong Records (release details TBA).

IRATION–Micah Pueschel (lead vocals/guitar), Adam Taylor (bass), Joseph Dickens (drums), Cayson Peterson (keyboard/synth) and Micah Brown (guitar/vocals)–has been on the road all summer as the main support on Slightly Stoopid’s “Sounds of Summer 2017” cross-country tour earning high praise. The two-month trek performs to a sold-out crowd tonight (8/18) at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheater as it winds down, wrapping next Thursday, August 24 at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The quintet then head to Las Vegas to headline X107.5’s End of Summer Luau at The Beach at Mandalay Bay on Friday, August 25 and will also be appearing at the Angry Orchard Harvest Festival in Walden, NY on September 23 and City of Trees 2017 (presented by Radio 94.7 and Bud Light) in Sacramento, CA on September 24.

 On October 24, the Hawaiian-bred, Santa Barbara-based road warriors will kick off their fall headlining “Intergalactic Tour” featuring support from Fortunate Youth and Through The Roots (on select dates). The 19-date outing will take IRATION across the U.S. through November 18. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates and go to www.irationmusic.com for more information and ticketing details.
