   Vigilance was  initially formed in August 2002. Unnamed and unknown the band was formed as a trio of Gethin Jones (Bass), Paul Edwards (Guitar) and Mark Mills (Drums). The three members meeting through mutual friends of the Music Station in Bridgend. Calling themselves Shred of Decency the stage was set but after unsuccessful attempts to sing and play from Paul's part it was decided that a singer should be brought in. With the help of Glyn Mills, manager and promoter of numerous bands as well as the entertainment organiser for the tollhouse Amy Coppard was found as a regular at the live music venue. A bit nervous and tentative at first Amy bit the bullet and joined in February 2003. The first Demo was recorded in June 2003 consisting of the three songs Insomnia, Mother F**k and Speak Out Creating a unique audio display of Old School Rock, Thrash but also melodic and mellow textures revealing the full range capable of this humble band. 

 

   

  Vigilance started gigging in August 2003 and with a knock on effect the fan base gradually developed. Playing with the likes of Nuke (Now Emily All Over), Opium, Sons of Thunder, Pete's Sake, The Next Nine Years, to name but a few. From January onwards with the help of Glyn Mills acting as manager and promoter Vigilance were gigging twice to three times a week all over South Wales. The pressure built up and with a near bust up it was suggested in April 2004 to have a break whilst everyone finished at college and University to then regroup in the summer. This decision would prove to have both a positive and negative effect on the band.
