REVIEW By Dion Curry for Sandman Magazine:
Since its development in the 1970s, people have sometimes forgotten that punk doesn't have to be stupid, either musically or lyrically. New on the scene in their current name and incarnation, Copycat Vigilante formed from the bits and pieces of other South Yorkshire bands. They play punk in the real, attitudinal sense, but their music is artier and more intricate than most three chord by-the-numbers imitators. This is creative and challenging music, without losing its accessibility or musicality. Considering this is just the early stages for these guys, Copycat Vigilante have the potential to fill the void left by bands like At the Drive-In or classic Fugazi or Wire for technical, hard-hitting punk.
REVIEW By Christine Brain for Sandman Magazine:
A very exciting debut release from Copycat Vigilante, who formed from the ashes of Doncaster's Bright Paper Werewolves, and what an exhilarating trip this is. They have energy to spare as they sweep all before them in a catchy guitar / bass / drums explosion, with some well balanced and punchy vocals from all three of the band. They put me in mind of Green Man Says Go and I will be looking to see this lot play live as soon as I can.
REVIEW By Kat Lister for Planet Sound, Teletext:
These rebels with a cause got together in Rotherham and are just itching to unleash their own brand of post-hardcore music on the masses. They largely succeed. Stand out track is "Play By The Rules" which confidently rips into their influences (as diverse as Fugazi, Bloc Party and The Cure) and puts their own stamp on it.
