Album Notes

Meet THE PILOT LIES, a sincerely alternative rock/pop band with a desire to be different and a soft spot for the strange and mysterious. The trio includes William (Guitar/Vocals), Michael (Bass/Noise), and Christopher (Percussives); ordinary names for minds that are anything but.

A formation sparked by a chance meeting and the realization of great potential, the group is a true tripod when it comes to support. Rarely will you find a more creative atmosphere than that of the band's humble headquarters; a house stationed just a block away from one of the largest cemeteries in the city of Syracuse. The sounds are unique, the lights burn late and as witnesses say, 'there's always something going on.'

Despite today's increasingly popular 'more is better' attitude, their songs present a swimming dynamic that makes The Pilot Lies a model for powerful simplicity and a respectable three piece machine.

Seeking new opportunities, the band signed on with Aux Records in 2005 with a newly refined sound reminding some of Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins or Cave In's 'Antenna', and others of Our Lady Peace. The band has one album to their credit, their debut disc 'Do Things Look Any Better?' which they recorded themselves in a studio they built in upstate New York. The album was released by Aux Records in May of 2006.

REVIEWS

Alternative Rock with an ambient twist
author: Brian
On first listen this cd has a unique style. I see some comparisons to Our Lady Peace, Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo and Cave In, while I agree in some of those comparisons, I still feel they have their own unique style, which should satisfy the bands desire to be different. The track Sunlight is a short track, introducing you to some great acoustic guitar playing and a diverse voice of William. The track Every Time immerses you into their alternative stylings and has a very upbeat style. This track really showcases the drums and adds a little bass, adding a little guitar solo here and there the song instrumentally is impressive. The track The End is a very impressive track with again some very impressive vocals from William and as seemingly in each track the drums and guitars are awesome. Definitely can hear the ambient style in this track. They continue to mix-up the stylings between songs and pull it off impressively. As they so candidly ask throughout the album, Do Things Look Any Better? I can only wonder how they were before this release, but definitely while hearing the album things for The Pilot Lies will only get better.... The single off their album, Proud Father, I believe would be their most popular track. Throughout the complete album they maintain a consistancy of being unique and having a unique style. They also have very impressive instrumentation, and very meaningful lyrics. This band is defintely going somewhere and is absolutely worth a listen.
