IGNITE

Ignite burst out of Orange County’s punk and hardcore scene in 1993, firing on all cylinders with a mix of raw intensity, soaring melody, and lyrics that carried real weight. Their debut EP Where They Talk in 1994 set the tone, and by the time Our Darkest Days arrived in 2006, Ignite had become a global force, packing clubs, tearing up festival stages, and inspiring a dedicated worldwide following.

In 2022 the band opened a bold new chapter with their self-titled album, introducing vocalist Eli Santana and proving once again that their passion burns as strong as ever. The record captures everything fans love about Ignite: anthemic hooks, powerful messages, and a raw energy built for the stage. Today, with Eli joined by longtime members Brett Rasmussen (bass), Nik Hill (guitar), and Craig Anderson (drums), Ignite continue to move forward with the same purpose that has driven them from the very beginning.

Over the years Ignite have shared stages with everyone from Bad Religion and Suicidal Tendencies to Avenged Sevenfold, Rise Against, Madball, and Comeback Kid, along with appearances at some of the biggest festivals in the world. With more than three decades behind them, Ignite remain unstoppable. This is a band that turns conviction into melody, energy into unity, and every show into a reminder that punk and hardcore are still very much alive.
