Autopilot
Autopilot plays a Z840E
Canadian alt rockers Autopilot have a new album near completion and 2022 has the band returning to the road with upcoming North American tours taking them through to the end of the year. This fall comes the much anticipated release of the first single, Feverish Dreams, from the upcoming new record. This driving track is sure to catch the attention of many and keep them interested to see what else is in store.
Autopilot kicked off their post-pandemic comeback in June 2022 with a single, being their take on The Cure’s In Between Days. Sounding more like a 90s throwback of feedback and fuzzed-out guitars, it strays from the original while still complimenting the fantastic song writing of The Cure. This track caught the attention of media including TikTok influencer Jesea Lee, Canadian Beats, Tinnitist, Find Your Sound, and more.
The Saskatoon-based trifecta of sound-best-heard-loud have become increasingly known for their powerful hooks, dynamic stage presence, and obsessive hard work. Such is deftly demonstrated between their roster of full-length albums, additional EPs, singles, and road warrior status touring across Canada and the US.
Canadian Musician Magazine calls them “quite possibly one for the hardest working bands in the country” and it’s not difficult to see why: Autopilot have charted with Earshot’s Top 50, the Top 200 for NACC North American College Charts, and specialty radio throughout North America, as well as receiving heavy rotation, reception and placement on The Verge, Sirius XM’s Iceberg Radio, CBC, podcasts, and licensing placements throughout Canada and the US.
Having taken the stage at festivals such as CMW, Indie Week, AYE Fest, Fairfield Revival, Jersey Shore Festival, Millennium Music Conference, Mesa Music Festival, and more, Autopilot were also nominated for Best Rock / Pop Artist at the 2019 Saskatchewan Music Awards.

Little does the average viewer know, but they are classically trained multi-instrument musicians that are on a mission to create music for the sake of art and connecting with people in a new way.
We're here for them!
Growing up in Erin, Ontario, Canada, identical twins Niko and Marko Martinovic realized at a young age
that entertainment was their calling. Starting in the early 90's these two brothers were certified G's in the prank world.
Fast forward to the 2010's, along with a childhood friend, they created "NELKFILMZ." They would later drop the "FILMZ" part of the name and NELK became one of the most viewed channels of all time.
After parting ways with NELK, Marko and Niko created the EvenOut brand of twin prank comedy. Currently they have over 200 million views on YouTube, 1.3 million followers on TikTok, 400 million views on Facebook and 20 million on Instagram. They have also starred in commercials for Canada Trust, The Bay and HGTV.
