Album Notes

PERFORMING LIVE ON TOURBABY, IN HOUSTON NOVEMBER 8TH AT SIDECAR PUB


Their influences are the Counting Crows, Soul Asylum, Tom Petty, and R.E.M., but they pride themselves on having pioneered an original sound to call their own.

Pilot Radio is a four piece modern rock band from Houston, Texas. Currently being played on over 95 radio stations in North America, they are rapidly moving into the public eye and ears and becoming known from coast to coast. Their music appeals to a wide age group with its soft rock/pop effects muzzled within a mix alternative sound.

Friends throughout high school, Ricky Young, Austen Hooks, and Drew Walters all had a love for music and in the fall of 1997 they formed Pilot Radio. Spending the next 4 years developing and perfecting their musical talent, they immediately began writing original songs, some of which later appeared on their first independent release.

Soon after the recording, Keith Shepard (lead guitar) joined the band to make the fourth and final member. The four just finished recording their second record titled 'Antiques.'


This just released LP began during a two week sabbatical at a lake house in Livingston, Texas and during that time all pre-production work was executed. The concept behind ?Antiques? was to display the bands creative conceptual talent without influence from a producer or anyone outside of the band. An artistic gem emerged. It exhibits more maturity and style, and is creating enthusiasm on a national level.


"Pilot Radio's appeal goes across many demographics"
BASSZONE review 2002

"The bands music itself encompasses a great deal of mood-leading; it has the power, through its dexterity and range of tempos to pull the listener in and out of a range of beautiful emotion and feeling"
