| | Pilot Radio Antiques CD Pilot Radio Discography of CDs
Pilot Radio's Antiques is a slick and straightforward sophomore effort, solidly in line with the mainstream sounds of Matchbox Twenty or Train. Vocalist Ricky Young has the sort of flat yet still emotive voice that's well suited for music like this -- his listless phrasing lends some potentially problematic lyrics ("There's something wrong with the radio/Because all I hear are sad songs," from the moody "All Along") the proper amount of weight, so that much of Antiques approaches the atmospheric self-involvement mulled over so much by Counting Crows' Adam Duritz. This is Generation X music, saved from the middle of the road by wry, resigned wit and a collective failure to make relationships last longer than two weeks. A cool calliope effect shimmers along in "World Without You" before a filtered circus organ completes its dreamy, lonely guy landscape; meanwhile, the spiteful-to-sad "Good Thing You're Young" has its urgency enlivened by piano and fiddle, and opener "Obvious Things" washes the back-and-forth of a couple's argument in layers of guitar (is the "Come strong" lyric a Jim Rome reference?). Pilot Radio might have spread some of the grit in standout "Sunshine" around -- Antiques has a tendency to be too slick at times. But overall it's a strong album, and one that should give impressionable twentysomethings more tuneful fodder for fretting over failed love affairs. ~ Johnny Loftus PERFORMING LIVE ON TOURBABY, IN HOUSTON NOVEMBER 8TH AT SIDECAR PUBTheir influences are the Counting Crows, Soul Asylum, Tom Petty, and R.E.M., but they pride themselves on having pioneered an original sound to call their own. Pilot Radio is a four piece modern rock band from Houston, Texas. Currently being played on over 95 radio stations in North America, they are rapidly moving into the public eye and ears and becoming known from coast to coast. Their music appeals to a wide age group with its soft rock/pop effects muzzled within a mix alternative sound. Friends throughout high school, Ricky Young, Austen Hooks, and Drew Walters all had a love for music and in the fall of 1997 they formed Pilot Radio. Spending the next 4 years developing and perfecting their musical talent, they immediately began writing original songs, some of which later appeared on their first independent release. Soon after the recording, Keith Shepard (lead guitar) joined the band to make the fourth and final member. The four just finished recording their second record titled 'Antiques. 'This just released LP began during a two week sabbatical at a lake house in Livingston, Texas and during that time all pre-production work was executed. The concept behind ?Antiques? was to display the bands creative conceptual talent without influence from a producer or anyone outside of the band. An artistic gem emerged. It exhibits more maturity and style, and is creating enthusiasm on a national level. "Pilot Radio's appeal goes across many demographics"BASSZONE review 2002"The bands music itself encompasses a great deal of mood-leading; it has the power, through its dexterity and range of tempos to pull the listener in and out of a range of beautiful emotion and feeling" The Daily Cougar review by Shiley Carter, 09/2001

Cliff Richard's fifth movie, released in the summer of 1964, was another wonderful knockabout, absurd and adorable in more or less equal doses, and accompanied, of course, by a soundtrack which squeezed every last ounce of effervescence from the plot. The formula was, by now, firmly entrenched. The Michael Sammes Singers twitter, Norrie Paramor produces, and the Associated British Studio Orchestra lavish everything beneath monstrous slabs of sweet strings and wind. Meanwhile, the Shadows rattle along as both an understated backing band and, when the mood hits, frontmen in their own right, throwing two characteristic guitar-led instrumentals into the brew -- "Walkin'" and "Theme for Young Lovers." Equally predictably, the hits flew from the album -- "Theme for Young Lovers" reached number 12 in the U.K., Richard's understatedly grand "On the Beach" made number seven, and both the title track and "Do You Remember" remained favorites long after the movie slipped off the screens. Ah, but there is where comparisons with past soundtracks end. The others were fun because they were so ridiculously enjoyable. This one's fun because...actually, it's no fun at all. It is, however, contrived, condescending, and, for the most part, utterly overblown. Calm down -- it does have a few great moments. "Wonderful Life" itself comes over like something from a Broadway spectacular, all racing orchestration, broad backing vocals, and imbibed with the same timeless bravado which one normally associates with the classics of the 1940s and 1950s. But that, too, is a damning confession. The hit singles aside, there is no denying the audience which Wonderful Life was gunning for -- the mums and dads (and beyond) who still had time for pop, but maybe found the latest crop of superstars a little too outlandish for their tastes. All that long hair, all those suggestive lyrics, all that hand-holding and yeah, yeah, yeah-ing. No such dangers here. The frothy over-excitement of "Home," the stirring big band ...
