Vigilantes of Love
Encyclopedia : V : VI : VIG : Vigilantes of Love
Vigilantes of Love is a rock band fronted by Bill Mallonee. Mallonee usually sings, plays lead and rhythm guitar and harmonica, although from time to time he also plays drums.
The band takes its name from the New Order song "Love Vigilantes," although their sound tends more to folk, Americana, and country rock than New Wave. Their 2001 album Summershine also showed some movement toward Brit-pop and R.E.M.-style college rock, which would be more fully explored in Mallonee's solo career.
