Ignorance is Bliss is an album by the punk rock group Face to Face, released in 1999 (see 1999 in music). The album was a musical and lyrical departure from the pop-punk or skate-punk influenced music found on previous albums and EPs. Though an 'EconoLive 2' tour was done in promotion of the album, the band does not currently play any of the songs from the album while touring. Trever Keith flatly refused to play anything from this album on their minitour, according to an interview video on their official MySpace page.
