Bio
"Ex-instrumental mean and righteous rock that falls just heavier than kraut and just lighter than metal."- Corbie Hill
Irata is a three-piece band based out of Greensboro, NC. Featuring Jon Case on bass and vocals, Cheryl Hall on guitar and Jason Ward on drums, vox and synth, the trio pulls from experimental, alt-rock and post-metal influences. The combination of heavy, sonic riffs, driving percussion and a distinct vocal sound gives Irata an addictive quality that cannot be ignored.

“Irata - Irata
Review by John Pegoraro (StonerRock.com)
Release date: 2009
... they'd be the benchmark for comparison.
To me, that puts Irata in a league of its own. The three-piece is on the more technical side of instrumental psychedelic rock, but never so much that their musical prowess gets in the way of conveying warmth or losing an organic quality. Take “Baby's Breath,” for example. This track, with it's crisp bass playing and frequent crescendos, brings to mind post Undertow Tool, except Irata never comes across as cold and calculating, as if they're using a proven algorithm for rock.
And that's just one of Irata's ten numbers – and not even the best of them (that would go to the beautifully titled “Clown Rehab,” with “Angel's Share” and “Drunken Dwarf” coming in second and third, respectively). What's even more impressive is the fact that the songs are so layered... All in all, this is an excellent release. Recommended.
