The non-IGNITE news. Many of you know that Zoli has been filling in on the vocal duties for Pennywise since their longtime singer Jim Lindberg left the band a few months ago. Well, Zoli will be joining Pennywise as their full time frontman! They have some warm-up shows in March on the West Coast then they will head out on a month long European tour starting at the Groezrock Festival in Belgium on April 24th. We are very excited for Zoli and this great opportunity for him to sing in one of the greatest punk bands of all time! Dont worry IGNITE fans, Zoli is not quitting IGNITE and we are not breaking up either, we will continue to write, record and tour with IGNITE as long as our fans want us to continue!

In more non-IGNITE news: NATIONS AFIRE, the band that features Brett and Nik from IGNITE as well as former members of Rise Against and Death By Stereo, have made a line-up change and Nik has taken over vocal duties for NA! NATIONS AFIRE is currently in the rehearsal and recording studios writing songs for their much anticipated debut full-length cd. NA will be playing shows as early as March with the new line-up as well.
