About Me

(*blindpilot recently won one of the XFM LONDON Featured Artists Competitions. Picked from a couple of hundred artists to feature as one of 3 acts, This Year's Enemy beat off the other two acts to win the Vote on Thursday 29TH March 2007*). blindpilot songs focus on the memorable melodies and strong harmonies the brothers are capable of, having played together since youngsters. Raised on the sounds of JOY DIVISION, RADIOHEAD, JONI MITCHELL, TELEVISION etc etc, all four songs on here were WRITTEN & RECORDED entirely by DAVE AND ANDY at their house in SOUTH LONDON.
