Biography

Indie combo Pilot to Gunner came together in New York City around 1998. Led by the vocals and guitar of Scott V. Padden, P to G also included guitarist Patrick Hegarty, bassist Martin McLoughlin, and drummer Kurt L. Herrman. The boys debuted on wax in 1999 with the Hit the Ground and Hum EP for Me Too!; that led to the 2001 Gern Blandsten full-length Games at High Speeds. A hellacious touring schedule ensued, which found Pilot to Gunner bringing its tightly wound emo-punk to America and Australia and garnering some pretty fawning press blurbs along the way. The hullabaloo led to a deal with Arena Rock Recording Company, which reissued Games with an additional bonus track in early 2003 before releasing Get Saved a year later.
