2010 release from the Hawaii-based Reggae rockers. Iration. Recorded Time Bomb with the intention of making an album that appeals to everyone - it combines Pop structures and melodies similar of those on their previous EP, Sample This, with a more Rock and Electronic feel. Analog synthesizers and unique guitar tones on each track help modernize their Reggae rhythm base. Focusing on making each song a stand alone "hit," the band approached each song differently in order to maximize the potential of each individual track.
