Tommy & The High Pilots- ‘Only Human’

Only Human is the latest album for rock band Tommy & The High Pilots. The Southern California band has an alternative rock and pop sound. The band consists of lead vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Tommy Cantillon, guitarist and keyboardist Michael Cantillon, bassist Steven Libby and drummer Matt Palermo.

Tommy & The High Pilots is a group of close friends who have come together to make a fun and refreshing music. Tommy and Michael are brothers and have been singing and playing music from a young age.

About the album Tommy said it features their best music he told AlternativeAddiction.com, “Only Human means to us that it’s not an excuse to make mistakes but a pep talk when you do. A lot of the songs represent that and it wasn’t intentional. Half way through making the record we noticed that they all have the same idea behind them. For all of it to tie together under the same story feels pretty important.”

Tommy has gained inspiration from different people and their life stories. Tommy has said he gains ideas from the conversations he has with people to come up with the lyrics. He also gathers his thoughts and ideas while being on tour since tour buses have a wide variety of people and personalities on board.

The album starts off with the single “Get Up” which is an upbeat and catchy tune. At first it kind of reminded me of All American Rejects with the drums kicking off the song. Tommy’s vocals are completely flawless and the band shows off their musical talents harmoniously. This is consistently shown through out the album.

The single “Outta My Head” is one of the best songs on the album. It’s another fast rock ballad that will be stuck in your head. The tone shifts to a more mellow tone with the tracks “Devil To Pay” and “Painted Cave.” You can envision the story unfolding in your mind that Tommy with his painting with his words.

Overall Only Human is full of memorable tracks with meaningful lyrics. You can stream their album on their website, Tommy & The High Pilots. Below is a taste of what to expect from album, take the time to listen to the high-energy group, Tommy & The High Pilots.
