Idiot Pilot is an alternative rock duo from Bellingham, Washington, consisting of Michael Harris and Daniel Anderson.

After their previous band, pop-punk outfit Azero Cherry, broke up, high schoolers Michael Harris and Daniel Anderson decided to go it alone and started Idiot Pilot.

They released their second album, Wolves, on October 2, 2007, which was co-produced by Mark Hoppus of +44 and Blink-182, and Ross Robinson (Glassjaw, At the Drive-In, The Blood Brothers).

In March 2009, Idiot Pilot chose to leave Reprise Records following the label's merger with parent company Warner Bros., due to poor promotion of their second album, Wolves.

In March 2010, Idiot Pilot released a new song, "The Tail of a Jet Black Swan", through their official website as a pay-what-you-want download.
