"Filthy Preacher" and "Shoot to Kill" is a single by British electronic duo Indigo Peak and pop icon Alesha, released on March 9, 2009 by Ensemble Entertainment. Both songs were written and recorded by Indigo Peak for their second studio album Arcadium (2008) and later included on a re-release of Alesha's fifth studio album The Second Coming (2008) just weeks before her sixth studio album Bigger Than God was released.
Despite a controversial promo stunt in which Indigo Peak declared themselves (and Alesha) members of the "Paedofinder Generals" and falsely accused fellow members of the entertainment industry of child molestation, "Filthy Preacher"/"Shoot to Kill" topped the singles chart. It was Alesha's seventh number one single and Indigo Peak's sixth (and fifth consecutive) number one.
Alesha performed "Shoot to Kill" on 2010's Apocalypse City Live tour. In 2010, Alesha and Indigo Peak performed both songs in a medley at Judgment Day, a televised greatest hits concert held by Alesha in Wembley Stadium.
In 2011, Indigo Peak sampled Alesha's number one hit "The Hunted" on their single "Love Is Violence".
