Has anyone here heard Pilate? They are from the Toronto-area I believe, and if anyone listens to the http://edge.ca/, you might have heard the single 'Into Your Hideout'.... Their album is out on September 23rd, and they're also doing an album release gig @ the Horseshoe in Toronto, if anyone in the area is curious to check them out!

 

Their going to be re-doing the site very soon, but as of now they have a few mp3's up on the site (http://www.pilate.com).

 

Please post thoughts on the songs, or if you've heard the single! I figured I would make a thread for them here since they have a Brit-sound to them, and they're very good :)

My friend always bugged me to go with him to some shows they did in TO but I was always busy but I have heard them on the radio and like them a lot :)

Well you should come down to the Horseshoe on the 23rd!! You can't beat a FREE show :p It's a cool venue too (don't know if you've been to the 'shoe before...).

 

I love your icon btw... I <3 The O.C.

Thanks! I love The O.C. too!

 

I am currently at school in Hamilton so it's a little bit out of the way to go to Toronto.

Ahh yes Waterloo. I got friends who go to Waterloo.

 

Pilate played Hamilton but not McMaster, I wish they would have though.

I'm not sure if any of you are Canadian or not, but there's a band out of Toronto called Pilate, and their sound is very similar to Coldplay's. Their new album is great, and you should all check them out. Their website is pretty cool too. The lead singer of the band sings a lot like Chris, he has a great voice, check out the songs "Into your hideout" and "alright" if you wanna hear a sampling of the band.

their is a underground radio station here that plays some of their stuff :)

I've heard 'collide' which sounds a little like sigur ros and then I heard 'into your hideout' which is alot more upbeat that 'collide'

But I like what I've heard of them :D

Ahh Fiona they are marvelous, those two are superb songs. don't waste your breath is another excellent song of theirs!

Yes, I'm hooked! I heard "Into Your Hideout" 2 weeks ago, listened to a couple more songs via their webiste and had to buy the cd last Friday! At first, I thought they were from the UK... they've got that, you know, "UK sound".

 

'Alright' is another great track, and yes, the lead singer has a superb voice! Am I the only one who thinks the bridge to "Into Your Hideout" has definite Radiohead influences?

 

I'm planning on seeing them next month... looking forward to it.

Thanks for starting the thread, ice smk... I shoulda done it last week, but I got busy and then forgot about it.

 

Cheers!

hmmmm well since them seem to sound so good, Im gonna d/l their song ;) :P

It's good to hear they are getting radioplay in the UK :D

Hawksley Workman is great too, his anger as beauty song is impossible to download on kazaa, they're all fakes, but its a great song that people should check out too...

Yes I love Pilate, I saw them play at my university late last year.

Reindeer girl: how was the show? did they sound good live? did they have "good stage presence"?

PS Your av is one of my fave pics o' Thom.

:D

I've been hearing "into your hideout" alot lately and I'm really starting to like it. I've found a few others songs and they're pretty good. And they definitely remind me more of radiohead then coldplay. good stuff though!! :D

I'm actually really surprised they're Canadian, like talkshowhost said, they really do have that "UK sound"

I'm loving Pilate, the lead singer has this...hmm..Bono meets Hawksley Workman, meets Fran Healy type of voice and their sound is brilliant. "Into your hideout" has been playing in my head all day, fantasic song

Has anyone seen them live (looks like Reindeergirl, did) or planning on seeing them?

Who's gone out and actually bought (ie. $$) "Caught by the Window"?

I've been wanting to but i have no money :cry:
