Pilot Speed (formerly known as Pilate) was a Canadian rock band, who were active in the early 2000s.[1]

Based in Toronto, Ontario, the band consisted of vocalist and pianist Todd Clark, guitarist Chris Greenough, bassist Ruby Bumrah and drummer Bill Keeley.[2] Clark was a graduate of the music program at the University of Western Ontario, while all of the other three members were alumni of OCAD University.[3]

They released their debut EP, For All That's Given, Wasted, independently in 2001 before signing to MapleMusic Recordings,[1] which released their full-length debut album Caught by the Window in 2003.[4] The album was most noted for the single "Into Your Hideout";[5] the song's music video, directed by Maxime Giroux, won the MuchMusic Video Award for Best Independent Video at the 2004 MuchMusic Video Awards,[6] and was a Juno Award nominee for Video of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2004.[7]

The band followed up in 2006 with the album Sell Control for Life's Speed.[8] Just a few weeks after the album's Canadian release, the band opted to change their name to Pilot Speed after securing an American deal with Wind-up Records, due to the risk of being sued by other American bands named Pilate; they had briefly considered keeping the name Pilate in Canada while using a different name only in the United States, but ruled that option out.[9] The album was released in the United States under the title Into the West.[10]

The band's third and final album, Wooden Bones, was released in 2009.[11]
