Pastepunk.com have posted their top 25 albums of 2006. Ignite’s “Our Darkest Days” has topped the list at #1.
“With Our Darkest Days, IGNITE returned to the US with their first full-length in over six years. I also caught the band live for the first time in almost nine years. It could be argued that quite convincingly that IGNITE was Pastepunk’s band of 2006. My attachment to this band runs pretty thick. In many ways, they were that “far away conviction carrying hardcore band from California” that made California hardcore seem so intriguing to someone who only knew the genre from a distinctly New York perspective. No one seriously compares to Zoli Teglas’ operatic vocals. Like Tim McIllrath, Teglas has presence, and Our Darkest Days is essentially the Zoli show. Paired with a hybrid sound that’s as much UNIFORM CHOICE and GORILLIA BISCUITS meets modern melodic punk rock, and with a verbal platform that invades a variety of brain parts, IGNITE stands out as universally relevant in a period of constant flux and fleeting trends.”
