the Conscience Pilate

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 Conscience Pilate started in Toronto in ‘95 when songwriting duo Edward Pond and Neil Leyton finished university. 
Throughout the months that followed, between ’95-‘96 TCP released acclaimed singles and the “Living in a Movie Scene” EP, starting a label and initiating a small local movement that gathered like-minded friends and artists. Within a year, this culminated in the “Orange Alert” Toronto scene.
Starting in the summer of 2023 TCP are releasing a new single every month, beginning with “Army of Devils,” followed by “Bloom.” It takes a village, so while Pond and Leyton remain the core of the band, many of their musical cohorts from across the years are stepping up to play drums, guitars, record, produce and generally pour good energy into this art rock project.
