Much of the band's music is socially and politically aware. Ignite actively supports, and has given proceeds to, organizations such as Earth First, Doctors Without Borders, Sea Shepherd, and Pacific Wildlife. Former lead singer Zoltán "Zoli" Téglás has taken account of such issues as environmental concerns and vegetarianism—common topics found on A Place Called Home. The legacy of Soviet Communism in Eastern Europe is another recurring theme, in part because of Teglas' Hungarian background.[1]


History


On May 9, 2005, they filmed a live DVD at The Troubadour with A Dying Dream and Eightyonedays in West Hollywood, California. The DVD was never released due to some technical problems with the quality, but on April 20, 2008, they gathered footage for an upcoming live DVD of their show in Leipzig, Germany.[2]

On July 20, 2005, a deal was announced with Abacus Recordings, a subsidiary label of Century Media Records; the band's album Our Darkest Days was released on the label in May 2006.[3]

The band toured in Europe in 2008.[4] They headlined shows at Persistence Tour 2009. The Pennywise website, on February 16, 2010, announced that frontman Zoli Téglás just recently joined Pennywise.[5]

The band eventually began touring with Zoli in 2014, and began recording the fifth album A War Against You.[6]

On November 24, 2019, Zoli Teglas stated through a social media post that he will be leaving Ignite in 2020 after their remaining scheduled shows. Teglas has fronted the band since 1994.

On September 17, 2021, they released a new EP with a new singer Eli Santana (of Holy Grail) featuring two songs, "Anti Complicity Anthem" and "Turn XXI".
