"I think there’s less live elements on this record then there was on Black Sands. I kind of wanted to move away from that sample-heavy, downtempo sort of sound."

"We want to treat every show, every song and every opportunity as our last so we try not to think about it and keep going."

"It could have gone further. It didn’t. Fortunately, it will. It’s still alive today, fortunately. We’re carrying on."

“There was always tongue-in-cheek sentiment to this band, in everything we did. You know, it came more out of fun than people realise, I think. We’re kind of a weird bunch,”

"We had a few line-ups before this final [one] and you’d always get to a certain point and then someone would leave or you’d get to a certain amount of tracks on your setlist and then someone breaks an arm and you’d just have to start again."

"It has always been very intense; the gigs are intense, and we’re in it together and we’re bonding through this experience."

“We didn’t really sit down and talk about what direction we wanted to take, but when we were writing we wanted to challenge ourselves and not do something that we’ve done before."

We’re loving jamming with each other, and it’s great – it just feels so good.

"It’s an incredible sound that plays really dynamic and really fast, and it’s almost as if, if you hold it and treat it right and keep playing, these songs really do tend to write themselves, I think."

"It seems that we evoke quite a bit of imagery – the album overall – which is kind of interesting because I am a really visual person."

“Some of the compositions were inspired by different authors, different books."

"I kind of had an epiphany during doing that last album that our funny songs are the ones that are most popular with the audience."

"All the shows were so big, you know? Fifty thousand up, you know, festivals, people banging stuff, girls throwing bikinis on stage."

“We all knew each other from as far back as the late ‘90s and we thought why not do a project for fun – and Vigilante was born. It was pretty simple, really.”

"I grew up listening to lyricists, so I always thought the lyrics were important and something I really tried to focus on. I really don’t want to sell people short when it comes to the lyrics.”
