The band takes its name from the New Order song "Love Vigilantes," although their sound tends more to folk, Americana and country than new wave. Their 2001 record, "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.
