From San Diego, California, Ikana is carving out a space in the modern alt scene with a sound that fuses Midwest emo melodies, pop-punk energy, and post-hardcore grit. Emotional, melodic, and heavy when it needs to be, Ikana channels raw honesty into songs that hit as hard live as they do in the studio.

 

Formed in 2018, the band spent its early years writing, recording, and building a foundation in the local scene before hitting the road hard in 2023. Since then, Ikana has been touring relentlessly, growing a dedicated fanbase not only in San Diego but across the West Coast and beyond. Known for high-energy, heartfelt performances, they have shared the stage with The Used, Dayseeker, Holding Absence, Man Overboard, Lit, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Anthony Green, Secrets, and more.

 

Completely DIY at their core, Ikana writes, records, and produces their own music while also creating their own videos and content. Every release, every show, and every mile reflects the band’s work ethic and vision to connect with listeners through songs that speak to the highs and lows of love, loss, and self-discovery.

 

With a growing catalog and a reputation for powerful live shows, Ikana is ready to take the next step by expanding their reach, touring bigger stages, and bringing their heartfelt, high-energy sound to new audiences everywhere.
