Current Release

Pilot to Gunner
Get Saved

CD-AR037

"Alert the hipster police: a Brooklyn band that's more earnest than ironic! One great album"

-Blender

   

"After taking the last great band name up for grabs, the Brooklyn, NY, quartet set about making great low-fuss, guitar-driven, melodic rock. Makes the countless emo pretenders look as poseurlike as a trucker hat"

-FHM

   

"An antithesis to the fashion conscious droves of 'punks' emerging from their NY lofts claiming ghetto credentials"

-Kerrang!

   

"Part punk, part post, and all rock. Captures NYC like no other primped and propped up outfit of Gotham poseurs can."

-Mojo

   

"Foogazi? If the Strokes are rock's prep-school slackers, PTG are the brainy bullies who pound on them. Rock returns...no bullshit included"

-Details

   

"Like revisting The Replacements in their most raunch era where the verses didn’t come quite so tautly"

-In Music We Trust

   

"The vocals are strong, the performances are rockin’, and the tunes are big and memorable"

-Alternative Press

   

"Phenominal. Some of the most vital sounds rock music has to offer"

-CMJ New Music Monthly

   

"Band To Watch"

-Alternative Press

   

"The album is dynamic and alive. It will really blow you away. PS - cute band member alert is in full effect."

-Transworld Snowboarder

   

"This album matters so much more than almost everything else out there. Ferociously beautiful."

-Revolver

   

"Pilot to Gunner has a firm grasp and knowledge of timing, structure, dynamics and...hell, just give them their props for being able to produce one captivating album from beginning to end."

-Ghettoblaster

   

"A prime slice of DC-inspired rock. A melodic and edgy offering from a band you don't want to miss."

-Kerrang!

   

"A solid work of exceptional proportions. A wholly original album full of energy, melody and rock attitude."

-Impact Press

   

"An undeniably flawless release. PTG is actively charting the future of guitar-based affrontery."

-Splendid

   

"Leaps off the burner with a tight-wound ferocity this rips."

-The Big Takeover

   

"There's intricate guitar interplay, tense chords, and drumming that's tasteful to the utmost. So there. You're allowed to like it now. But chances are that, after several listens, you'll probably like it whether you want to or not."

-Pitchfork

   

"I heard the last two songs of the PTG set, two songs that were better than most of the sets I’ve seen in town this year. It was pretty obvious that they’d been on the road for a couple weeks, as they were tight as a steel trap."

-NY Hangover

   

"A genuine pleasure to chance upon an album such as this. 4/5"

- Kerrang!

   

"Screeching guitars and urgent vocals...evokes post punk like Wire and XTC, plus 80's hardcore such as Fugazi. passionate stuff"

- Q Magazine

   

"Pilot to Gunner specialize in complexly arranged, guitar-driven songs"

- New Yorker

   

"What rock and roll should become"

- 24/7 Brooklyn
