In the Studio With New Pilot


In terms of coverage, it's always been hard when nasty people are making great music, or wonderful people are making crappy music. Either way, you're reluctant to cover them.

It's always a relief when nice guys make good music. New Pilot, a quartet based in Southbridge and East Brookfield, joined the Weekly Shuffle on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at WCUW, fielding questions about their band, and playing a few tunes as well. This pop-rock band with killer hooks and vocals features Johnny Wheeler (keys, vocals), Sean McKinstry (rhythm guitar and vocals), Kevin Outland (lead guitar), Matt Soper (bass) and Seth Loconto (drums), who joined recently and is well known as frontman for Gutta.

Together for three years, New Pilot's got three main songwriters, and is presently working on a debut. "We're trying to do it ourselves right now because we're really poor," says Outland. "It's been a really slow process but we're pretty excited with the little progress we've made so far."

New Pilot plays a show this Saturday, December 20th at Mill Street Brews in Southbridge with the Flock of Assholes.
