Vigilantes of Love was a rock band fronted by Bill Mallonee with a large number of secondary players drawn from the lush musician pool in and around Athens, Georgia. In its later manifestations in the later 1990s and early 2000's, Mallonee usually sang, played lead and rhythm guitar and harmonica, although in earlier bands he played 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.
