Vigilantes | Sheffield, Sidney & Matilda

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. Accolades speak volumes: Gordon Raphael, producer of The Strokes, calls them “a world class band,” while Carl Barât of The Libertines declares them “not the first Vigilantes, but the best Vigilantes.” Mike Skinner of The Streets notes their sound is “very slick” and distinct from the usual British indie scene, describing their music as “a goer.” BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens praises their blend of “American influences with British hearts,” and Phil Taggart recognizes their quality as “very good.” Vigilantes have also been placed on Radio 1's Best Of BBC Introducing playlist and had repeat airtime on BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 & Radio X
