After half a decade of not releasing new music, Orange County, CA’s most notorious melodic hardcore force, IGNITE, is ready to get back to work with their new vocalist Eli Santana up front. “It’s a new chapter for IGNITE,” reaffirms bassist Brett Rasmussen. “But there’s a lot of looking back to some of our earliest records like Call on My Brothers and having the same feeling writing these songs with a new singer.” In these Southern California stalwarts’ minds, the more things change, the more they stay the same. “This is what we love doing— as it was in 1993 and as it is now.” Rasmussen states of the recording process, “The energy and positivity that Eli brought to the recording studio was contagious! It was an absolute breath of fresh air for all of us and reminded me of the early days of IGNITE. I really can’t wait to take these songs on tour.” Anti-Complicity Anthem includes the incredible title track and the B-side, “Turn XXI” exclusive to this 7” vinyl and digital format.
