Airileke launching Weapon of Choice at the AWME this weekend!

Avante garde prog-rockers Pirate are about to do a string of tour dates before they head back to the studio to record their second album. We fired a few questions at them to get an idea of what we could expect both on the road and from the next album. Joel Woolf, vocalist, synth player and saxophonist for the band, pulled the short straw to answer the questions.

Avant garde prog rockers Pirate have released the last single off of their album Left of Mind. Featuring the bands' relentless experimental fury, the track "Time Minus Five" is a great introduction to their sound.

With their upcoming national tour set to kick off next week, FLOATINGME have announced the support acts for the 7-date tour, including locals Pirate, Over Reactor, Ennis Tola and more.
