Hotel St. George is a four man indie rock outfit hailing from San Diego, CA. Consisting of Matt Binder (vocals/guitar), Erik Visnyak (vocals/bass), Simon Leader (drums) and Brian Reilley (keyboard/guitar/vocals) they are a self-described "French Pop / Big Beat / Thrash" band that most would agree fit into a more standard indie-pop-rock mold, with some strong French-pop influences. Though just starting out, they are really starting to garner a wider following in Southern California behind their first to EP releases "Yippee!!!" (June 2008) and "Hundreds and Thousands" (October 2008) and riding a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2008 San Diego Music Awards. They are looking more and more poised for a wider break out after their song "It's the Blues (Watch Out) was chosen as a finalist in a new music track contest by SPIN Magazine and doing an in-studio performance for X1FM. The band currently state that they are readying a full length release for summer 2009. Says Simon Leader "I would use the word 'simple, it's rock 'n' roll music played both loud and fast, with the emphasis on both." Not to mention that the four deliver it with a presence for which Fred Perry, Vespa, A.P.C., Apple, American Apparel and about 20 fistfuls of other cliche nouveau youth brands would no doubt pay to have their names involved.
