Bio:

Zoli Téglás has been the voice of melodic hardcore band Ignite for 25 years, recently left the band to pursue his passions in music and animal rescue.Téglás has also been the frontman for the bands Pennywise and the Misfits. Téglás, also, has an excellent resume of acting in Hollywood movies (Terminator: Dark Fate (2019), The Alienist (TV series – 2020), Spectral (2016), Tyrant (TV series – 2015, 2016), Argo 2 (2015).Also known for being an activist in environmental protection and animal rights for many years.He has been an activist and board member for such organizations as Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and the Beagle Freedom Project. Zoli has his own non-profit Pelican Rescue Team.Now Zoli shows another exciting facet of his personality with the launch of his brand new US Alternative Rockband, OCEAN HILLS. “These songs come From the heart”.The upcoming album is everything Zoli was hoping to achieve musically. “The songs are great, the musicianship is fantastic, the guitar Solos are incredible, and the vocals are melodic and hard-hitting. Rock anthem stuff!!!”Joining Zoli in OCEAN HILLS are, Peter Lukacs (lead guitar), Daniel Szebenyi (keyboards and bass) and Reinder Oldenburger (rhythm guitar).All having an integral part of contributing to the band’s songwriting, OCEAN HILLS is a daring new endeavor. brand new start, but with the experience of countless tours and recording sessions behind them all as fulltime professional musicians.OCEAN HILLS‘ music feels like a vacation: it re-energizes, makes you reflect and feel good – but it’s not superficial or insignificant.There’s a subliminal, yearning element to the songs and it’s obvious that someone poured his heart and soul out to create this outstanding record.

Album:

Santa Monica is not a record born from the recording sessions of either band, rather a fresh new direction for Teglas, one which showcases his obvious vocal abilities and allows him to explore influences and ideas at odds with Ignite’s ethos.When listening to this record I couldn’t help but be triggered on a nostalgia trip. The atmosphere and sound of the album sits distinctly somewhere between the early-nineties alternative rock scene, emotionally resonant and edgy, but with hooks aplenty and memorable, uplifting choruses, and 80s-era LA Glam.Bound begins the record with a huge bottom and a dirty guitar sound, reminiscent of post-River Runs Red-era Life of Agony. A Separate Place has a distinctly Industrial feel to it and although Death or Liberty is a ballad of heart-felt vocals it never once descends into the Emo territory.Having never been to California – I sit here in an industrial northern English town under rain-threatening grey skies – my view of the Sunshine state comes from those 80’s Glam bands I grew up with (and perhaps The Lost Boys) and Ocean Hills manage to evoke that feeling again. You can almost feel the heat of the strip on Like a Lady and Angel’s Wings, the former being a radio smash in the making and the latter being the dark to Lady’s light.From start to finish Santa Monica sounds crystal clear and the production is crisp and sharp. Guitars are allowed to soar and the rhythm section provide an unassuming foundation upon which the record is built. That attention to detail is in perfect keeping with the feel of Santa Monica; whereas Ignite and Pennywise’s sound is enhanced with a dirtier production, Ocean Hills benefit from clarity of the highest order.Zoli Teglas’ vocals are the star of the show and he demonstrates his range from the gritty to the heart-rendering right across the album. His movements through styles is seamless and smooth and never feels anything but organic. There’s the occasional dodgy lyric – on the title track and for much of Vampire, but that just adds to the old-school feel of those tracks.Santa Monica ends with an interpretation of the Smith’s morose classic There is a Light That Never Goes Out and, rather than sign off on a downer, Ocean Hills’ version is imbued with the same hopefulness heard across the rest of the record.You might consider Santa Monica a bit light-weight at times but its unwaveringly positive attitude is just what is needed in these challenging days.
