Brigade: 'Pilot'

Taken from Brigade’s forthcoming second album, new single ‘Pilot’ starts promisingly enough with its dramatically escalating intro quickly dropping down to a thick and chunky bass riff.

The production is crisp and punchy, with layered guitar riffs and vocal melodies giving the track a very assured pop rock sound. In the model of far too many contemporary emo bands, however, the nasal vocals and annoying backing melodies (chiming “take the pain away”) do begin to grate towards the end, which is why it’s probably a good idea that the track is a nice and compact 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Released on 28th April 2008 by Caned & Able.
