Pilate

This is a band that I'm listening to a bit right now, to see if I'll get into them or not.

Their sound is like a mix of 1 part U2 and 2 parts Coldplay.

I saw their video for Into Your Hideout, and actually thought it was U2 at first. This guy's voice can sound strangely similar to Bono's at times. I downloaded some of their other stuff, and they've got a mellower sound, much like that of Coldplay.

From what I've heard so far, they're definately worth checking out.

P.S. This guy's got a kick-ass falsetto that Coldplay fans will relate to, and that OLP fans are currently missing.

They remind me a bit of Radiohead, as well.

The vocalist has a beautiful voice.

If it wasn't for the current state of shopping, I'd go buy their album.

I love Into Your Hideout and those clips from the site sound quite promising. I'll probably end up buying the CD. The vocalist sounds so much like Thom Yorke, it's sorta scary but that's not a bad thing and I think they're have a rather different sound than Radiohead.

Yes, because obviously anything even remotely in the same genre is just a rip off of the most popular band in that genre.

:roll:

If anything they sound like The Bends era Radiohead but i wouldnt go so far as saying they are ripping them off.

Regardless Into your Hideout is one catchy song.

I bought it a few months ago, I like it. But its nothing toooo special.
I do adore his voice though, apparently he took singing lessons.

They are gonna be on much on sunday.

I've been home sick and have watched far too much TV.
Their video was played at least 4 times today. :freak:

I think the people at Mcuh like them.

I've never been interested in trying Windsor Pilates... I guess I dunno... it seemed a bit girly-ish...

^man, i just started doing pilates 3 days ago, seriously! the first couple times you do it, it feels like the hardest thing ever but after you get the hang of it it's not so bad. And it's just five minutes a day!
