Pilot Speed (formerly known as Pilate) is a Canadian rock band that formed in 1999 in Toronto, Ontario. The quartet´s debut EP was released in 2001 which gathered attention from MapleMusic Recordings who later signed them. Their two full length albums Caught by the Window and Sell Control for Life´s Speed have since been released on MapleMusic Recordings in 2003 and 2006, respectively.

On June 26, 2006, the band posted a message on their site stating that, due to legal restrictions, they decided to change their band name before it incited lawsuits from companies outside Canada. As a result, they altered their name to Pilot Speed. Their second album was then re-released in the United States by Wind-up Records with a new name, Into the West.
