Sounds Like:

8/10 - Planet Sound

"...deliciously melodic passages, atmospheric soundscapes and rock n roll charged melodrama..." SANDMAN MAGAZINE

"The whole effect resembles a forgotten mellow psychedelic jam from The Verve circa Northern Soul-era...How well the ethereal sound comes across live is for you to find out, but we’d put a bet on that it’s nothing short of inspiring." ROCKFEEDBACK

-VW struck me as being full of promise and it wasn’t difficult to imagine bands that are massive now being a bit like this – maybe not as good? – in their formative years" WWW.BEATSURRENDER.CO.UK

"Vigilante Wing, from Sheffield, songs shimmer with real passion. They create a solid bed of sound with their polished playing and with lead singer Ali's soaring falsetto vocals dancing over the top. Very enjoyable." SANDMAN MAGAZINE
