IGNITE Announce Still Wide Awake with a Double-Song Video
IGNITE announce Still Wide Awake for January 15, 2027 via their 93RPM Records label, with a joint video for the title track and Guilty Wounds.
IGNITE have announced Still Wide Awake for January 15, 2027, introducing the album with a combined video for the title track and “Guilty Wounds.” The official announcement pairs new music with a business change: the release arrives through the band’s own 93RPM Records.
The band says the video was filmed entirely at The Punk Rock Museum. Both songs appear in the same official upload, credited to 93RPM Records and embedded on IGNITE’s website. It gives listeners two parts of the forthcoming record in one sitting, before the full album arrives.
A band-run label and pointed lyrics
IGNITE described the creation of 93RPM as a way to take control of their music and choose independent partners around the world. The regional network announced on their website includes Lockjaw Records for the UK and Ireland, Thousand Islands Records in Canada, and Hell XIS Records with HFMN Records for the Iberian Peninsula.
Release notes published by Rough Trade describe an album concerned with immigration enforcement, reproductive rights and men’s mental health. They frame the title track around taking responsibility for ourselves and others. Those are the release notes’ stated themes, giving listeners a starting point for the words as well as the music when they play the first two songs.
Who is playing on this chapter of IGNITE?
The current lineup listed in the text of the band’s official biography is Eli Santana on vocals, Brett Rasmussen on bass, Nik Hill on guitar and Craig Anderson on drums. Santana was introduced on the self-titled album released in 2022, so this announcement continues an established chapter with him at the microphone.
That biography traces IGNITE to Orange County’s punk and hardcore scene in 1993, followed by the Where They Talk EP in 1994 and Our Darkest Days in 2006. Those are useful catalogue markers for anyone returning to the band after a gap: the new songs sit alongside a history that reaches back more than three decades.
Release date, formats and the first two songs
Apple Music’s pre-release listing gives January 15, 2027 and identifies a ten-track album with a 93RPM Records copyright line. The same release date appears in Rough Trade’s listing, which offers LP and CD editions. IGNITE’s announcement also confirms that vinyl pre-orders have opened.
The immediate listening point is the official “Still Wide Awake” and “Guilty Wounds” video. Put the two songs side by side and decide which one leaves the stronger first impression. There is enough here to start that conversation now, with the complete record scheduled to follow in January.
