Pilot Speed — Wooden Bones

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 14, 2009 11:35 am

Wooden Bones is Pilot Speed's third album and their first officially under this moniker (they were previously known as Pilate). You can argue all you want that 2003's Caught By The Window and 2006's Set Control For Life's Speed were poor U2 imitations, but those records displayed knowledge of the use of tension and release in music. When you...

Pilate — Sell Control For Life's Speed

By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) April 25, 2006 1:02 pm

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...

Pilate — For All That’s Given, Wasted

By Tim Melton (CHARTattack) February 12, 2002 2:20 pm

Scotland may have Travis and England may have Coldplay, but Canada, thankfully, have Pilate. This Toronto four-piece wield over-the-top songwriting abilities and over this release’s six songs the band lay out enough groundwork to definitely show what they’re capable of. Songs like the plaintiff "Drowning Man" and the mid-tempo "Long...

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.

Remember the good ol' days, when Pilot Speed were still known as plain ol' Pilate? Their Caught By The Window debut was awesome, start to finish... It just feels like a lot of this new stuff doesn't contain that initial spark. Sigh.
