Third Ion is the product of a mutual love of prog, video games, and science. A project talked about, envisioned, and anticipated by Justin and Aaron since they met, in mid-2010. A few of the songs have been in the works since shortly after that, but meeting Mike and getting him on board was the jump start needed to truly get this band off the ground.

With the addition of Tyler Gilbert on lead vocals, Third Ion has completed recording their debut album 13/8Bit, and with the help of Clawhammer PR have received worldwide airplay with an early released single of the song "Capitol Spill" before their fall 2014 tour.

Recently signed to Glasstone Records, the album is being released May 25, 2015, and Third Ion plans to tour Canada and Europe to promote the record. 8-Bit musical renditions of every song will be released as well, to pay homage to their 1980's classic gaming inspirations.
