Ignite are a melodic punk band from Southern California. After a 10-year break, the guys are back with their new album, A War Against You, and Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with bassist Brett Rasmussen about the release.
How would you describe your sound to those who have never listened to the band before?
Well, that depends on who I am talking to. If I am describing the band to somebody who is schooled in punk rock and hardcore, then I usually say that we take influence from bands like Uniform Choice, Bad Religion, Bad Brains and some rock influences as well, like Quicksand or Helmet.
If I am talking to somebody I am sitting next to on an airplane who watches American Idol as their means of staying current in music, then I simplify it down to something like a mix of the Offspring and Metallica.
You guys formed in 1993. 23 years is a long time for a band to stay together, especially in a climate where being musician isn’t necessarily the easiest job. What would you say is the secret to Ignite’s longevity?
It really comes down to the songs. Our songs seem to strike a chord with people and that has given us our longevity. I mean, if the people out there in the world didn’t connect with our songs then we wouldn’t be able to tour and keep the band going. People would stop coming to our shows and thus make the band irrelevant.
