“saintmotelevision” follows Saint Motel’s 2014 label debut EP, “MY TYPE,” highlighted by such singles as “Cold Cold Man” and the breakthrough hit title track. “My Type” – which is also featured on Atlantic Records’ “PAPER TOWNS – MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE” – proved a top 5 AAA and top 10 Alternative radio smash here in the US. The song has garnered over 46 million streams on Spotifyand was a top 40 favorite in such European countries as Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, where it received platinum sales certification. In addition, the “My Type” companion video – directed by Saint Motel frontman A/J Jackson – has drawn more than 12million views at the band’s official YouTube channel,

Saint Motel came together in 2009 when A/J Jackson recruited fellow Southern California film student Aaron Sharp – “the best guitarist on campus” – to join him in a new musical project. Bangkok-born bassist Dak Lerdamornpongand drummer Greg Erwin completed the group, which immediately attracted attention for their striking visual presentations and dynamic indie rock.

“VOYEUR,” Saint Motel’s independently released 2012 debut album, earned national acclaim and massive play on Alternative blogs and specialty radio. Further applause came from the band’s increasingly inventive live performances, including such audio/visual extravaganzas as “The Kaleidoscopic Mind Explosion in 3D” and the annual Zombie Prom, as well as tours alongside Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons, Ariel Pink, Band of Skulls, and Weezer.

Saint Motel has spent much of the past year in the studio and on the road, including high-energy sets at festivals including Indio, CA’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Dover, DE’s Firefly Music Festival, George, WA’s Sasquatch! Music Festival, and Manchester, TN’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. The band has also made an array of major network TV appearances in recent months including NBC’s TODAY, CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In addition, Saint Motel have also become beloved international pop superstars via multiple European tours, high profile features in GQ Italia, Cosmopolitan Italia, Italian Vogue and Rolling Stone, and live appearances on X Factor (Italy) and the nationally televised 65th annual Sanremo Music Festival.
