Ignite is a hardcore/punk rock band from Orange County, California. Formed in 1993, their commercial breakthrough album came in May 30, 2000, on TVT Records, and was called A Place Called Home. Prior to this release they were well regarded among hardcore fans, thanks in part to constant touring, and having visited over 30 countries.
On July 20, 2005, a deal was announced with Abacus Recordings, a subsidiary label of Century Media; the band's album Our Darkest Days released on the label in May 2006.
Much of their music is socially and politically aware. Ignite actively support, and has given proceeds to organizations such as Earth First, Doctors Without Borders, Sea Shepherd, and Pacific Wildlife. Zoli Téglás, the lead singer of Hungarian ancestry, has a brother who is a wildlife preservation veterinarian.[citation needed] 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.
On April 20, 2008 they gathered footage for an upcoming live DVD at their show in Leipzig, Germany.
