Edit history

The Band began in 2004 with founding members Robert Mudge and Dane Tatton writing songs in Danes garage, they then began writing their own material. By 2005 they had added additional members, however in-house disputes led to numerous line-up changes until 2007 where they cemented a three piece line-up. Recently due to one of Robert and Ryan's side projects ending and evolving musical orientation Dylan Graham was added to the roster as a second guitarist. Due to performance restraints The Illumination was unable to continue this evolved into "The Ill-Nation". We introduced Zac Watts as new guitarist at the 2008 Battle of the Bands and if it wasn't for her brief Hospital stay, Amanda Cook. Meaning she had to wait until the weekend after for her first show with the Band. The band is diversely influenced from Rage Against The Machine to Jack Johnson, however their musical interests are firmly rooted in both new and old styles of Punk Rock. They have no current releases however they
