Who’s On Stage?
Meet the Vindakits

By Erikka Innes

Meet the Vindakits, a punk band out of Huntington Beach with music so loud, raw, and energetic, you’ll find yourself speeding if you play their album in your car. They’re a band with a sound that combines the genres of heavy metal, rock n’ roll and of course, some seriously badass punk.

The group is famed for rowdy live shows that involve a lot of audience interaction. Lead singer Phil Limon is not afraid to climb off the stage and walk through the crowd while singing. “We’re very interactive,” Limon says. “At House of Blues [a venue], I just jumped into the mosh pit.” As a group the band has such a die hard following, that many of their audience members know all the words to the song. “We have a lot of hardcore fans who know the music, you know I’ll give them the mic and they’ll sing. They’ll get up onstage with us. It gets pretty crazy some times,” Limon explains.

Limon credits the band’s success to their great chemistry. The group has been together six years, starting off with Phil Limon and bass player Kevin Lorion, and quickly growing to include other members. At first the group met and jammed with a variety of other musicians, but eventually solidified into the line-up the Vindakits have today, which includes Limon, Lorion, drummer Jacob Anderson, and guitar players Brian Duggan and Daniel Anderson.

Currently the band is working on its first album. The title is still under debate, but the final CD will be available through Unimuse Records, and at select record stores in the Huntington Beach area.

The band loves receiving email and is quick to respond to their fans.
