The two year wait between the release of their demo and these ten new songs has been worth it for Sydney's Vigilante. Drawing on a wide array of traditional NYHC sounding bands, Vigilante mix the intensity of Breakdown with the guitar licks of Warzone and the social justice themes of Agnostic Front to create their own unique approach that is sure to please any hardcore purist. They redo the track "Eliminated" off the Split Scene comp and even throw in an Altercation cover of "Vigilante Song" and surprise you before its all over. While it may be a little early for a "Local Release Of The Year" call, you probably won't hear a better song than "Fear Of Change" in the next 10 months.
