Brigade return to action with this, the first  single proper from their upcoming sophomore album Come Morning We Fight which is scheduled for release later this month. Lead off track Pilot shows a band growing and evolving away from their “EMO” roots and instead becoming more of a mainstream rock band with huge cross over appeal. Pilot is definitely a great introduction to this more mature style and compares favourably with the likes of Green Day, Muse and to some degree 30 Seconds To Mars. The riff and catchiness of the track makes the choice to release it as the lead off single seem obvious.

The flip side, if there is such a thing in the days of downloads and MP3's is Yes it Is, a none album track and one that sits slap bang in the middle of where Brigade are now and where they came from with their debut album Lights a couple of years ago. Even so there is still an improvement here from what was on that album, good as it was, and it all augurs well for the release of album number two.
