Vagiant (often stylized as VAGIANT and are referred to as such) is an American all-female punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. The band was initially formed in 2005 by four employees of the gaming company Harmonix after Helen McWilliams (stage name Hellion) sent around an email to the entire company. [ [http://farm1.static.flickr.com/233/520732895_4a340a2021_o.jpgSattell, M: "Vagiant", "Northeast Performer", June 2007, p.23] ] Since forming the band has gone under several member changes leaving McWillliams as the only remaining original member. Most of their notoriety has come from the inclusion of "Fuck the Kells" (censored "FTK") in "Guitar Hero II" and "Seven" in "Rock Band".

Vagiant's music features a fast paced, high energy punk rock base. Stylistically and vocally they are akin to Joan Jett and The Distillers, while lyrically coming off as abrasive and blunt as their sound. Vagiant is a staple band for the Boston area and even features landmarks such as The Kells in their music.
