Saint Motel

The explosive, cinematic, indie-pop band Saint Motel is, to put it best, hard to resist, and damn fun. In the world of Saint Motel, nothing bows to convention: Stages become forests and living rooms, and shows become kaleidoscopic mind explosions in 3D. This theatrically creative world is due in large part to the fact that the gentlemen of Saint Motel formed in film school. The band’s keen visual sensibility has yielded an array of stunningly original videos that accompany songs from their recently released debut EP ForPlay, released via the band’s label On The Records, and the physical or digital version of ForPlay includes the free added bonus of the beautiful, ultra-conceptualized videos for each song.

Saint Motel is A/J Jackson (vocals, guitar), A Sharp (lead guitar), Greg Erwin (drums) and Dak (bass) – musicians who constantly experiment and push boundaries within the songwriting process to keep evolving their signature sound that features unique guitar tones and surprising sonic twists throughout. Dear Dictator is the EP’s first single, which is enjoying spins and support from influential Los Angeles radio station KROQ. The song balances a hauntingly beautiful melody and a powerfully familiar-feeling riff. Butch has a Frankie Valli-meets-The Who vibe with its catchy melody, gentle vocals, and huge climax, while Eat Your Heart Out is reminiscent of a more intense Muse with its atmospheric fire. To My Enemies showcases Sharp’s use of the slide guitar that he manipulates to produce a mesmerizing horn-sounding tone. Pity Party has a build reminiscent of an earlier era and takes you away with quick turns and a memorable breakdown that warns “And if the world would end tonight, I won’t be by your side.” ForPlay’s final track, Do Everything Now, is a steady build that grabs you and punch you in the gut with its musical force, and sounds like the soundtrack to Jack Kerouac’s On The Road.

The raw energy apparent in Saint Motel’s music is felt at a new level when experiencing them live. The band’s live shows are marked by this effusive energy and the spectacle of exciting visual soundscapes that blend the sonic with the artful. Jackson explains, “People want to be entertained when they go out to see a show so we try to offer not only an energetic performance but also a memorable experience.” Metromix agrees, stating that “Saint Motel never fail to put on a show that’s a treat for the senses” and The Onion claims “Saint Motel has a…particular blend of wholesome indie rock brimming with raucous sexual energy,” while Flavorpill declares the band “Imploring, atonal, and irresistible garage glam.”

Imagine Dragons

“Imagine Dragons is Las Vegas’ next big rock group since the Killers.”
-TheDeadHub.com: Las Vegas’ Answer to Modest Mouse: Imagine Dragons (October 20, 2010)

“Las Vegas’s Imagine Dragons have crafted an impressive commercial sound that pitches them somewhere between The Killers and Athlete … Personal favourite is the wonderful Selene which proves that these guys have the ability to create a sound that is all their own. It is hard not to imagine that they will have a posse of major labels sniffing around on the back of this ep.”
-TheMusicCritic.co.uk: Hell and Silence EP Review (August 20, 2010)

“…on the strength of recent live performances and their latest release, the gorgeously synth-textured five-song EP Hell and Silence, Imagine Dragons are the only group with the pop instincts and arena-ready confidence required to dominate on an international level. Led by Dan Reynolds, the Dragons dish up confectionary rock tunes that strike the perfect balance between dirty leather-pants guitar antics and suave dance-floor glitter. If there’s any justice, the band’s stomping, disco-kissed ballad “Selene” will be blasting from every conceivable retail outlet and Hollywood rom-com very soon.”
