Bio:
After a lot of introspection and staring into the mirror, Vigilantes have independently achieved success and fought their way out of a cultural desert to perform at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Isle of Wight Festival, SXSW and support acts like Circa Waves, The Libertines and Reverend & the Makers.
Vigilantes craft a thoughtful, melodic style of indie rock that's as anthemic as it is atmospheric with thoughtful lyricism and explosive choruses. They do it so well that they have been placed on Radio 1's Best Of BBC Introducing playlist and had repeat airtime on BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 & Radio X. Noted by Fresh on the Net’s Tom Robinson as ‘On a mission’, Vigilantes were part of National Lottery/MVT's Revive Live Tour in 2022 and releasing their debut album ‘Golden Record’ in 2025.
Quotes:
"Vigilantes are a world class band" - Gordon Raphael, Producer of The Strokes
"Not the first Vigilantes, but the best Vigilantes" - Carl Barât, The Libertines
"In this country we have an obsession with the Libertines, so there's a lot of stuff sounds that sounds derivative of that. Whereas this is different. It's very slick. It's a goer" - Mike Skinner, The Streets
"American influences with British hearts" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
"There's good and there's very good. They are very good" - Phil Taggart, BBC Radio 1
"The power and tightness of the playing. Vigilantes will blow your socks off live" - Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6
