Pilate — Sell Control For Life's Speed

When your full-length debut is a smash hit, the fear of the sophomore curse is tangible. Fortunately, Sell Control For Life's Speed is the kind of record that blows that theory out of the water. It barrels out of the starting gate with a quick 1-2-3 punch of solid, driving tracks, including the first single, "Barely Listening." Todd...

Short Sets Don't Benefit Sirius Stars

On a frigid Friday evening, the kids were out in full force at the shrine on Sherbourne to catch four of Canada's most exciting young bands.

Pilate — For All That’s Given, Wasted

Pumping: Pilate — Set Control For Life's Speed

Everyone's who's pissed off at U2 for that shitty record needs to calm down for a second. It's not their fault they're old and no good anymore. We suggest getting this Pilate... er... Pilot Speed record to fill that earnest rock void instead. The song "Ambulance" is better than anything Bono shit out in the last 10 years.

SXSW Day 1: The New Pornographers, The Go! Team And World Party Help Kick Off The Fest

ChartAttack's Steve McLean is in Austin, Texas for South By Southwest this week. Here is his first report... sxswI saw a fine performance by Rhett Miller on Tuesday night at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern so that I wouldn't have to use a valuable time slot on him in Austin, Texas.
