Crave is proud to bring Iration fans an exclusive Jam In The Van performance of the brand new track “Hotting Up” from the band’s new full-length album of the same name. The record hits stores tomorrow (pre-order here), which gives this compact performance of the reggae-laced feelgood jam some perfect-timing placement.
In addition to the highly anticipated new release, Iration just announced details for their fall “Hotting Up Tour” in support of the new album. Hotting Up follows 2013’s Automatic, which propelled the band’s career to a new level, debuting 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.
