post-punk revival band Pilot to Gunner came together inNew York City around 1998. Led by the vocals and guitar of Scott V. Padden, Pilot to Gunner also includes guitarist Patrick Hegarty, bassist Martin McLoughlin, and drummer Kurt L. Herrman. The boys debuted on wax in 1999 with the "Hit the Ground and Hum"EP for "Me Too!"; that led to the 2001 Gern Blandsten full-length "Games at High Speeds ". A lifetime's worth of American DIY tours, as well as one through Australia, followed, as did the a deal with theArena Rock Recording Co. , which reissuedGames at High Speeds with an additional bonus track in early 2003.Games at High Speeds was also picked up byRykodisc in Europe, andBuilding Records inAustralia .Get Saved was recorded in 2003 withJ. Robbins and released in 2004 by ARRCO in the US,Rykodisc inEurope , andBuilding Records inAustralia . An even more hellacious touring schedule ensued, which found Pilot to Gunner bringing their tightly wound, D.C. inspired rock to nearly all of the lower 48, eastern and westernEurope ,Russia , and againAustralia while garnering some pretty fawning press blurbs along the way.The band is currently at work on their 3rd and final full-length album. No release date has been set, although according to their
MySpace page they are almost finshed.Discography
