here's the write-up from slovenly records......
"It is with mucho gusto that Slovenly Recordings presents this debut long playing 12” bruiser by LOS VIGILANTES, from San Juan, Puerto Rico! Following up their incredible “Mi Mami Dijo” 45 (Slovenly, tambien!), and an appearance on NORTON RECORDS’ “Their Hispanic Majesties Request” double 7” compilation, Los Vigilantes tear it up with 14 original tracks of juvenile delinquent garage-punk smashers! Heavy on the 60s side with a healthy dose of droopy 50s doo-wop back-up vocals, every song here kills with melodious culo shaking anthems lead by a super-tough vox, todo en Espanol. The band is fully swinging and brash with organs, human whistles, and backwards tape loops (”Eres Tu” cleverly sounding like a chant of “LSD!”) creeping in and out, bringing a stunning sunshine switchblade meltdown ofKing Khan & BBQ Show meeting obscuro early 80s Spanish punk cretins Siniestro Total. As part of a close-knit Puerto Rican punk/ garage scene, Vigilante Jorge Mundo (aka Jota) filled in for Davila 666’s lead guitarist on their maiden European voyage, and played lead guitar on their latest LP “Tan Bajo” (IN THE RED). Make sure and dig the video for this album’s killer lead-off track “Ven Vamos,” which was directed by PR videographers Puro Vicio. This LP is gonna be THEE cerveza guzzling party platter of the summer. Pa gozar, PUNK!"
and here's what REVOLVER had to say about their self titled lp.....
The debut full-length bruiser from San Juan, Puerto Rico’s LOS VIGILANTES. Fourteen original tracks of juvenile delinquent garage-punk smash. Heavy on the ‘60s side with a healthy dose of droopy /50s doo-wop back-up vocals, rocked with additional organs, tape loops and swagger. Vigilante JORGE MUNDO (aka JOTA) filled in for DAVILA 666’s lead guitarist on ther maiden European tour and played lead guitar on Davila 666’s Tan Bajo LP (In The Red).
