Zoltán Téglás

Zoltán Téglás (born November 10, 1969) is an American singer. He was the frontman of melodic hardcore band Ignite from 1994 to 2020. He was also the lead vocalist of Pennywise for a short time, appearing on their tenth album, All or Nothing. He has collaborated with other bands including the Misfits, Motörhead, Close Your Eyes, and Blind Myself. Téglás has a side project called Zoli Band.

In 1993, Téglás became the lead singer of the California-based band Ignite. In total he recorded five albums with the band: Scarred for Life (1994), Family (1995), A Place Called Home, Our Darkest Days (2006), and A War Against You (2016).

On November 25, 2019, Téglás announced that he was leaving Ignite after 25 years. He said, "With a heavy heart I am announcing my departure from Ignite. I am going to focus most of my time now to rescuing animals and other film and musical endeavors." He performed his final shows with the band in California in early 2020.

He replaced Jim Lindberg (who pursued a side project as lead singer for his newly formed band The Black Pacific) for a few concerts in Pennywise, after the former left the band in 2009. On February 16, 2010, Pennywise officially announced Téglás as Lindberg's replacement. Pennywise released their tenth studio album All or Nothing on May 1, 2012, their first album with Téglás on vocals. In a May 2012 interview with AMP, Téglás was asked if he was going to make another record with Pennywise. His response was, "I don't know if there is going to be a next time because we might kill each other in the process."

In October 2012, Jim Lindberg rejoined Pennywise, ending Téglás' short term as lead singer.

While touring with Pennywise in 2012, Téglás suffered from back pain due to a herniated disc. He collapsed onstage in Germany during his band's set at the With Full Force festival.

Since 2000, Téglás has made music on and off with his solo project, Zoli Band. Their first, self-titled album was released in 2000, followed by Red & Blue in 2010 and Santa Monica in 2019.

Téglás toured with the Misfits in October–November 2000, filling in on vocals during a number of North American tour dates after Michale Graves left the band. In the Motörhead song "God Was Never on Your Side" (on the album Kiss of Death), Téglás added backing vocals.
