Ignite
A Place Called Home
TVT Records

There used to be a great little punkish band in Laramie, Wyoming called the Spectacles. They put out an album named "How Punk Is That?" I can see Ignite putting out an LP with each side named separately. One side could be called "How Punk Is That," and the other side could be called "How Hardcore Is That." I don't mean that they're confused about what kind of music they are. In fact, they're a California-based loud and fast band with an environmental conscience. How punk is that? Ignite is a good, tight band, but where have they been? Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I don't think I've ever heard of these guys before.

Who'll like it? Fans of punk and hardcore, Good Riddance, Pennywise, the Offspring and maybe the Scorpions. It might even be worth checking out just because you're tired of the same old punk music that you've been listening to since highschool.
