Vigilantes

Hailing from Lincoln, Lincolnshire; Vigilantes craft a thoughtful, melodic brand of indie rock, a sound that is as anthemic as it is atmospheric.

Latest single, Fall Into You, is an indie dance floor filler wrapped up as a heartfelt, mature piece of songwriting. After a chance meeting outside the legendary Hebden Bridge Trades Club, Vigilantes caught the attention of notable producer Gordon Raphael (Modern Age EP, Is This It?, Room on Fire). Impressed by the band's songwriting abilities, Raphael took on the role of producer for Fall Into You.

Vigilantes's ability to effortlessly combine a swaggering, vibrant guitar sound, sprawling, powerful choruses and reflective lyricism has attracted fans from some of the biggest names in the industry. After being the only unsigned band to play Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Vigilantes were championed by The Streets frontman, Mike Skinner who described their sound as something “…different, very slick.”

Indeed, their talent for skilfully melding classic British indie-rock with American soundscapes akin to those created by the likes of War On Drugs and Gang of Youths, has attracted the attention of The Twang and The Libertines' Carl Barât, who had the band open for them in 2022. In July 2023 Vigilantes will open for Reverend & the Makers.

Fall Into You captures Vigilantes's euphoric sound perfectly. Opening with a rhythmic drumbeat and a narration-like delivery from singer Curly, the track bursts into life. A euphony of soaring guitars are complimented by the pulsing grooves of the rhythm section, as Curly enters into a call and receive with the band’s elevated backing vocals.

Vigilantes have released 2 EP’s as of 2023: 'The Neighbourhood' in 2022, following on from 'Ambedo Auras' in 2021. Their expansive sound has picked up support from the likes of Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart, as well as Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6.

Fall Into You will kickstart 2023 with two more singles to follow, a September UK tour booked and an EP due to drop early 2024.

Fall Into You is out on August 4th 2023.
