Huge thank you to those of you who made it out to the fantastic show a few weeks back at Goose Island in Wrigleyville!

In case you haven't had a chance, our two new singles, recorded this past summer, are still available for free on our Bandcamp site. Head on over and download them - and please feel free to burn them to a cd, give them to your friends and play them during your holiday feasts - Thanksgiving dinner will be a lot more festive with these two singles cranking in the background! If you frequent the nationally renowned music blog "The Deli," you may have seen a banner of us at the top of the homepage for the past couple of weeks, as we received a "band of the month" honor. We were also awarded some studio time, and we are leaning toward recording a new cover for your listening pleasure. We have a few ideas in mind, but would LOVE to hear from you guys. Shoot us a Facebook message and let us know what you think we should cover! In addition to currently being featured as one of 20 featured bands on the worldwide internet music site Grooveshark, the new singles have been getting some great buzz. Check out some kind words from Earmilk.com, Dante's Prog Blog inferno and Movements and Nonsense. Lastly, we are proud to announce our representation through Left Field Management, which also represents Chicago favorites Bailiff and the Kickback, among others. We are extremely excited for the enthusiasm and goals this organization has for us - which only means good things for you, our loyal and cherised soldier. With plans to tour and release our debut longplayer, 2012 is shaping up to be something special - and we want you to be there with us every step of the way. Keep up with us at northpilot.com, like us on Facebook, and find us on Twitter! And please, download the two singles "1000 Lives" and "Maps and Dragons" from our bandcamp site, Bandcamp. They're there to wet your appetite for the new record! See you on December 16th! And have a great Thanksgiving! On Bright Brigade!

They’re indie because the eclectic blend of percussive noise layered with ambient and explosive strings and topped with emotive and soothing vocals just doesn’t appropriately occupy any other area in the musical landscape." - Ben Dahl, Lost In Concert (read more...) "With The Bright Brigade, the band has sewn together a brilliant patchwork of rock, beautiful melodies and experimentation." - Jason Shough, Loud Loop Press (read more...) "Northpilot recognize the tests of life, existential, artistic and all in-between. It is obvious in their debut effort how large of a scope they look at life through; as the band continue to grow, the questions will no doubt become even more poignant." - Andrew Hertzberg, Windy City Rock (read more...) "...Northpilot's does what any great EP should do - leave us anxiously awaiting the LP." - Carter Moss, Illinois Entertainer "Every now and then, a band walks through the door that makes the jukebox come to a halt, forcing everyone in the room to stop and take a look. For Real Detroit Weekly, that certain special someone is Chicago's own Northpilot" - Ryan Hooper, Real Detroit Weekly (read more...) Additional Reviews: Dante's Prog Blog inferno Earmilk Gapers Block Pops and Robbers Movements and Nonsense. Biography More often than not, a band's sound is directly influenced by its surroundings. Be it the dark and ominous winter or the bright and enthusiastic summer, Northpilot's music pays homage to its Midwestern stomping grounds, incorporating its dynamic sound into a live performance which one reviewer hails as “…being shot through a cannon into a brick wall of sound.“ (Real Detroit Weekly) The Michigan transplants pooled their talents in 2006, cutting its teeth as a four piece and creating its vision in a second story walk-up in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago. Having recently upgraded to a 5 piece, the band spent the past 4 years building a solid resume, gracing notable windy city and Midwest mainstays including The Chicago House of Blues, Double Door, Schuba's, Subterranean, Martyr’s, Reggie’s Rock Club, Lager House (Detroit) and The Crofoot (Detroit), sharing the stage with hipster heavyweights Josiah Wolf, The Silent Years, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Reptar and pop punk band All Time Low (7-11 Battle of the Bands Competition, July 2010). In 2007, the band landed a spot in the top 8 of the Lollapalooza Last Band Standing Competition, and was a finalist in the 2010 Slurpee Battle of the Bands National Competition, where its final four status earned it a trip to Dallas to shoot a music video. In addition to landing weekend headlining shows at many Chicago venues, 2010 saw the band release its debut EP, The Bright Brigade, which continues to generate buzz by entertainment rags and blogs. During the fall of 2010, nationwide Internet radio outlet Grooveshark reported over 16,000 plays from its debut effort. It is with this cut-throat determination the band is setting itself up for an exciting 2012 and beyond. It plans to ride its momentum to the next level and cordially invites you to join its Bright Brigade.
