Pilot To Gunner

Games at High Speeds

Gern Blandsten

Driving and dynamic rock that moves from solid, indie-touched noise to East Coast punk. Throw in some Fugazi, Unwound, Braid and June of 44, and you might get something that sounds a little like this band. They don’t wear their influences on their sleeves; they are inspired and alive and take their music wherever they want. The vocal harmonies capture your attention, as the guitar pierces your skull, and the rhythm section keeps you moving long after you’ve been blown away by the songs.
