Rock Ignition is a hard rock band from Germany founded in 2006 by professional dancer and ex-Kamelot background vocalist Heather Shockley and Silent Force/Sons of Seasons/Headstone Epitaph bassist Jürgen Steinmetz. In 2007 they signed a deal with Rock Inc.(Netherlands)and released their debut EP, "I Can't Resist". The band is influenced by hard rock acts from the 1980s like Skid Row, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, and Vixen. The very first guitar player of Rock Ignition, Bas Maas, is now the actual guitarist of "metal queen" Doro Pesch.
Rock Ignition has shared the stage with bands like Uriah Heep, Jon Oliva's Pain, Axxis, Mike Tramp, Circle II Circle, Vanden Plas, At Vance, Elvenking, Kamelot, Sons of Seasons, headlined the AguiRock Festival 2008 in Tarragona (Spain) and opened the IV German Metal Meeting in Kerkrade (Netherlands).
The band released their 2nd EP "Innocent Thing" on May 17, 2013 through the record company Sound Guerilla/DA Music, produced by bassist Jürgen Steinmetz and mixed by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Unisonic).
