A british indie band.

Within months of forming The Vanguards found themselves recording in The Charlatans studio with legendary production duo Dave Tolan and Jim Spencer (Primal Scream, The Charlatans) – the result is ‘Regress’ – a gritty blast of raw energy blended with a genuine pop melody, it’s a rock/pop hit in the making. The Vanguards style of hard edged, sub pop is garnering fans right left and centre – so much so that ‘Regress’ became Radcliffe and Maconie’s ROW, as well as Pete Mitchell’s Xfm ROW, further recognising their raw talent.
