艺人介绍
by MacKenzie Wilson & Corey AparIgnite, a socially and politically conscious melodic hardcore four-piece hailing from Orange County, CA, formed in 1993 with distinctly voiced frontman Zoli Teglas (who grew up in both Hungary and L.A.) as the chief force behind the band's aggressive rock sound. Teglas' brother is a wildlife preservation veterinarian; therefore, Teglas has taken account to such issues as environmental concerns and vegetarianism -- common topics found on the band's 2000 release A Place Called Home. Representing earth-minded organizations such as Earth First, Doctor Without Borders, and Sea Shepherds, Ignite played several benefit shows with proceeds going to these particular groups, among others.
Ignite released a handful of singles, demos, and two full-lengths -- 1995's Call on My Brothers and 1996's Past Our Means EP -- before making their TVT label debut with A Place Called Home in May 2000. By then, the band comprised Teglas, bassist Brett Rasmussen, guitarist Brian Balchack (who had replaced Joe D. Foster), and drummer Craig Anderson (replacing Casey Jones). Achieving a dedicated following overseas, Ignite toured extensively throughout the late '90s, including European dates played on the Vans' Warped Tour, the U.K.'s Reading Festival, Hungary's Pepsi Sziget Festival, and Sweden's Hultsfred Festival, as well as dates with Pennywise and Sick of It All. Teglas briefly took over lead vocals in 2000 for a reunited and touring Misfits. Ignite left TVT in 2001, and while the band was between labels, Teglas and Rassmussen did some work with the side project California United that they'd formed with the Lonely Kings' Jon Barrysmith and Jet Lag's Nik Hill, playing a handful of European dates together in 2003.
Back on the Ignite front, the guys played their first U.S. shows together in two years in early summer 2004 before, of course, heading out globally. They signed to Abacus Recordings in mid-2005, entering the studio that fall to begin work on their next album. Our Darkest Days appeared in May 2006, and the band -- now with second guitarist Nik Hill on board -- supported it on shows with Rise Against, Blacklisted, and Set Your Goals.

- @良田(给时光以生命)：然后呢？
- @Abyss Crown(暂无签名~)：确实老团
- @括：hhh
- @休壹：90年代中期成名于潮流硬核公司Revelation ，他们是一支中规中矩的硬核朋克乐队，积极健康，旋律流畅，简单直接，虽然没有特大的名气，但乐队主唱Zoli Teglas标志性高亢洪亮的嗓音确实非常出色，很像著名金属乐队Scorpions的主唱Klaus Meine！Zoli Teglas已于2010年加盟经典滑板朋克名团Pennywise任职新主唱，而他在Ignite的最后闪光，则是2006年的专辑《Our Darkest Days》(其中对他们早期和现场必唱的保留曲目U2 乐队的《Sunday Bloody Sunday 》进行了重新混音录制)！乐队也因此而达到了他们力所能及的音乐顶峰！
- @诗人二胖子（腐烂）(不能让好的被埋没，也不能...)：朋克
- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：缺乏音乐的变奏，快速动人的吉他riff也从一定程度上限制了专辑的表现。当然也不用说Ignite习惯慢热，只有如Metallica，Suicidal Tendencies和The Ramones这样鼻祖级的乐队才能保持旺盛的生命力，可惜的是Ignite还不能达到这几位前辈的水平。
