Formed in 2019 during the uncertainty of lockdown, Pilots are an alt-rock band from Ashtead, Surrey, whose sound fuses timeless influences with a modern edge. Drawing from icons like The Beatles, The Dandy Warhols, The Verve, Stone Roses, Oasis, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Pilots create a sonic landscape that blends anthemic choruses, infectious melodies, and raw emotion. With a line-up consisting of Simon (Bass/BVox), Nick (Lead Vox), Alex (Drums/BVox), Matt B (Guitar/Keys/BVox), Matt C (Lead Guitar), and Dave Needham (Lead Guitar), the band’s music has a compelling mix of nostalgia and innovation.
Pilots are loud—very loud. Their songs are big, bold, and unapologetically emotive, capturing a sound that’s as exciting as it is anthemic. Though they’re not in their twenties or thirties, their music carries a fire and freshness that makes them stand out in the alt-rock scene. Their debut album, Grounded, and five singles have cemented their place as one of the most exciting emerging acts, delivering tracks that are hooky, melodic, and deeply resonant.
Pilots have made waves with their electrifying live performances, playing to over 10,000 people in France and appearing at multiple festivals across the UK. Their shows are a high-energy, immersive experience, matching the intensity and power of their music. The band’s sound is rooted in the classic alt-rock tradition, but with a modern twist that speaks to today’s audiences.
With the upcoming release Eyes On The Horizon set for Spring 2025, Pilots are ready to take their sound to new heights. They’re not just making music—they’re building a movement. A movement that’s loud, bold, and unlike anything else.
