Coming from the statistically "most divided town in the UK", Boston Lincolnshire. 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 brand 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 in 2025.
Vigilantes' journey is a passion for crafting a sound that resonates deeply with their listeners. They invite us into a world that blends introspection and catharsis.
