Daily electricity to load your batteries

1 August 2023

Band: THE CONSCIENCE PILATE
Who: A seasoned Toronto rock team led by Edward Pond and Neil Leyton returning after a 25-year hiatus and playing guitar-driven pop music that combines the energy of CBGB’s post-punk with the texture of 80’s alternative.

New single: BLOOM

Pond: “We recorded Bloom like it’s for a secret John Hughes movie we all wish could exist. It’s that alternative pop sound the Furs and the Mary Chain had nailed in the 80s. A story about a couple where one is flat on their face while the other is up, and they see-saw back and forth.”

TUTV: First chord in and an enormous energy blasts out of your speakers.
Bloom is a crackerjack rocker rolling with a wall-of-manicial guitar sound, a
battering drum/bass tandem and intensified with eager vocals. Think Weezer
on their razor-edged best. Capisce? Say no more.

Waking Up With THE CONSCIENCE PILATE And Their ‘ARMY OF DEVILS’

THE CONSCIENCE PILATE is an indie tandem – Edward Pond (bass) and
Neil Leyton (vocals, guitar) – from Toronto that produce guitar-driven pop
music which combines the energy of CBGB’s 70s post-punk with the texture
of 80’s alternative rock. They got together at university in 1995, released one
album named Living In A Movie Scene in 1996 and called it a day 2 years later.

Now after a 25-year hiatus, they decided to reunite and
immediately wrote ARMY OF DEVILS over a bottle of Rioja.

Pond: “Army of Devils is a song about not letting the demons in our
head mess up the good things in our life, and how sometimes we wreck
it a little anyway.”

Army Of Devils is a guitar-layered, straightforward rocker. Fiery, aflame
and flaring and intensified with ardent vocals. A frenetic feat that easily
could be on a Band Of Horses album. Americana rock the Canadian way.
