The Vigilantes
I wanna
self-released
Being a huge fan of bands like The Clash, the Sex Pistols, and the Ramones, I was pretty excited to see The Vigilantes' record on the It's A Trap! review list. While "I wanna" definitely has its moments, and really is a solid record, it feels like a pointless excursion through territory already explored. It's more of a Rancid-esque record than anything approaching the dynamic upheaval of sound that bled from Britain and New York city in the 1970s. While there's nothing really wrong with "I wanna", I can't help but feel your money would be better spent completing your Clash collection or finally picking up that Buzzcocks record you've been meaning to for years now.
