Welcome
"IRATA from Greensboro, NC...not only know the right way to rock; they are fully unconcerned with the trends of today. (They) make raw, unrelenting rock music that grooves when it's supposed to, crushes when it needs to and will leave you wanting more." - Keith Chachkes of Metal Distro
Weedeater, Golden Haze Fest, Album Release, and more!

On Friday, May 24th, you'll be able to pick up our latest release, Tower! ( Pre-order here! )
Then, beginning Wednesday, May 29th, we'll be heading out for a brief run with Weedeater. This tour will take us to Tennessee, Ohio, DC, and Virginia, so be sure to check out when we'll be close to you!
We're also very excited about Golden Haze Fest, in Golden, CO, and Descendants of Crom III, in Pittsburgh, PA. We'll be announcing tour dates around these festivals, so keep and eye on our shows page!

Irata and Sierra 2018

Tour Time!
We thought we were done with the road this year, but the itch has struck again. We'll be traipsing through the middle of the US with our good friends Caustic Casanova starting this Saturday in Dayton, OH, and ending in Albuquerque, NM.
These shows are going to be super-special because we'll have: A) Owen Burd making our sound even thicker and scarier than before B) Sweet Loris Vinyl!!! You wanted it, we have it!!! and C) New songs which will be on the upcoming album!
Go to our shows page to see when we'll be destroying your hometown.
New Member!
Everyone please join us in welcoming Owen Burd to Irata! He'll be co-slaying on guitar, keys, vocals, carrying heavy shit, and terrorizing small children.
We have some shows coming up that will be announced soon; you can catch the new lineup AND some brand new songs!
Doin' Stuff
Hey! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to the shows the past couple of months! We had an absolute blast with our pals in Freedom Hawk and new buddies All Them Witches, and we couldn't have done it without you guys!
So, what's next? Well, we're working on getting Sweet Loris on vinyl, and writing some more music! We hope to have a new release out within the year. In the meantime, keep an eye on our shows page for special appearances near you!

TOur brother TR from Freedom Hawk is facing a serious health issue and we’re coming together to help raise money to support him and his family. With the horrific American health insurance industry making it so costly even with insurance we’re working to raise money to help take one stress off their minds as best as we can.

Ripple Music and Benzotti Live are helping make this possible, and we’ll have a raffle as well with prize packs from the bands playing and other Ripple Music artists to raise even more. If you can’t make it please consider contributing to the ongoing GoFundMe fundraiser https://gofund.me/fb674b1fb Thanks, and please share the event and the fundraiser far and wide so we can maximize the support! #fuckcancer See less
