Default Who likes 'Pilate'?

I think these guys are very underrated. They are an enormously talented band, and the lead singer sings with so much emotion in his voice.

The 2nd album, 'Sell control for life's speed', was released a few weeks ago and I've been unable to stop listening to it. Their first album, 'Caught by the Window' is one of the best albums I've ever heard. They have the potential to be huge, but I don't know why the Canadian market is not embracing them as they should. Personally I think they are better than 'Nickelback', but that's just me.

I like 'em...they're very much in the coldplay vein, so if you like them, you'd like Pilate...

Personally, I think the best Canadian bands out there right now are The Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Metric...

I don't think they sound anything like Coldplay. The lead singers voices are not even remotely close. They do at times sound like Radiohead.

The Arcade Fire are pretty good.

Pilate: Taking advantage of CanCon to become a band JUST good enough to play the Coca-Cola Stage.

IMO.
