Vigilantes strive to play no-nonsense rock and roll with contagious choruses while avoiding the pressure of throw-back garage fads.

Taking cues from early rock and roll pioneers, Vigilantes wrote, recorded, and released Howard City within months of becoming a band. -Michelle TolodzieckiJonathan Richmond
