The Conscience Pilate Return With New Single “Bloom”

The Conscience Pilate play guitar-driven pop music that combines the energy of CBGB’s post-punk with the texture of 80’s alternative. The new single, Bloom, marks the return of Toronto art rockers and the start of their new collaboration that will see new singles arriving monthly for the remainder of 2023. After a 25 year hiatus, Edward Pond and Neil Leyton decided to reunite and immediately wrote new music over a bottle of Rioja. Bloom also features Stacy Straye (Die Mannequin / The Valhounds) on lead guitar on Bloom and his guitar will power several new songs in the coming months as The Conscience Pilate unleash a series of new singles.

“We recorded Bloom like it’s for a secret John Hughes movie we all wish could exist. It’s that alternative pop sound the Furs and the Mary Chain had nailed in the 80s. A story about a couple where one is flat on their face while the other is up, and they see-saw back and forth. Probably starring Robert Downey Jr. and Ally Sheedy. All our music is very movie-inspired. After all, our first record was called Living in a Movie Scene.” (Edward Pond)
