Chosen to be part of the unique festival experience of BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in isolation and championed by Mike Skinner, Vigilantes are the ones.
Vigilantes are continuing the British tradition of taking American sounds and stuffing them with a classic British tone. They do it so well that they have been placed on Radio 1's Best Of BBC Introducing playlist and had repeat airtime on Amazing Radio & Radio X to boot. Noted by Fresh on the Net’s Tom Robinson as ‘On a mission’, Vigilantes are known as one of the hardest working live bands in the UK circuit by putting every fragment of energy into live performance. Due to this, Vigilantes have deservedly shared stages with the likes of Circa Waves, The Sherlocks & Fickle Friends.
"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 on 'The Way It Ends'
"American influences with British hearts" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
"There's good and there's very good. This is 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, Fresh On The Net
"Powerful Indie rock!" - Elise Cobain, Amazing Radio
