This one goes out to anyone who was at Tiff: We're not sure whether to thank The Playlist or send them a bouquet of dead rats for identifying the song that played before every single screening at the festival, accompanied by a slide show of pairs of people in an audience reacting in unison to a movie (who were all racially segregated, for some reason). Anyway, the Coldplay knockoff song is by a Toronto band called Pilot Speed, and it's called "Light You Up." (We couldn't have come up with better names for a Toronto-based Coldplay knockoff band and song if we tried.)

Our goal was to come up with something we liked but was also linked in a way to the old name; thus Pilot Speed. There’s no deep meaning, it’s real just a handle. As irrelevant and separate from who we are as our own names… 2. What bands influence you as a band and individually? I think our influences have changed many times over the years.
