Ignition/UK are an English punk rock band from Preston, Lancashire. they were formed in early 2008 after ex-the Tetleys bass player andy Marlow invited former schizoid members Dave Hill (guitar) simon cordall (vocals) and Matthew Brown (drums) to form a new band due to their disillusionment with the lack of live bands and live music venues in Preston. their aim initially was to establish more preston pubs as live music venues by regular gigging. their first gig was at the bitter suite in preston in july 2008, and this was followed by gigs at the Queen Vic, the Angel and the Mad Ferret. gigs further afield in places such as Manchester and Southport soon followed as the band built a loyal following of supporters. in october the band recorded their first demo at west orange studio in preston. the demo contained 4 tracks and was produced by alan gregson, who had previously produced the hit single brimful of asha by cornershop, another preston-based band.
