Pilot Speed, formally Pilate, are my latest pick-up and A Kind of Hope (below) from Self Control For Life's Speed has been getting enough rotation recently they deserved a few words. Their hook isn't just Clark's indie-esque vocals that play off Chris Greenough's tearing riffs, but the coupling with Bumrah's bass lines that lay the catchy foundation to most of Pilot Speed's songs. Discovered through last.fm's recommended artists, these Canadian boys are hyped to hit big with their track Barely Listening making it as an iTunes single of the week and their latest album Into The West receiving critical approval.
No current tour dates set.
Based: Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver
Members: Lisa Lobsinger (vocals), Patrick Walls (guitar), Marc De Pape (guitar/synth), Bryce Gracey (bass), John-Marcel de Waal (drums)
Genre: Dream Pop
Reverie Sound Revue are a great indie (in fact, I don't even think they're signed with any independant label) dream-pop band from Canada. Creating the backbone of their addicting sound with some non-abraisive technical percussion is John-Marcel, then adding the funky guitar and bass riffs from the rest of the lads, Lisa is delivered an audibly engrossing platform to send her airy lyrics out on. She's a cutie and has some notably intense vocal talent.
Check their site for a video featuring the lovely Lisa Lobsinger in their first (unmastered and unmixed) release off their first LP of the same name, An Anniversary Away.
There are no current shows scheduled.
