Autopilots are a four piece, guitar based band from Monmouth, a town on the Anglo-Welsh Border. While drawing influences from a wide range of styles and musicians including folk and American roots music, the grandeur of Springsteen and the melancholy of Radiohead, the band adds an exuberance and intensity of youth that can only come when your group¿s average age is less than 20. The result is Rock'n'Roll with joyous melody. It¿s current and of it¿s of its time, but it doesn¿t merely follow the latest fad. While many of their peers are concerned either only with making people dance or with making them run into each other, Autopilots just want to make the music they love. Music that is big and epic. The songs concern the instabilities and complexities of a youthful existence. Relationships, sexuality, infidelity, emancipation and death are all covered, but perhaps in a more refreshing way than one might expect. In only two years Autopilots have bought their live show to many areas of the UK, playing to Audiences as far apart as Glasgow and Plymouth. In this time they were also featured on Steve Lamacq¿s flagship Radio 1 program. However, it is perhaps only since the Autumn of 2007 that they have found a real musical identity, an exciting and original. Imagine loud rockn¿roll with a dusting of folk and electronica and you might come close.
