 If Gang of Four had met and reproduced with My Bloody Valentine, and if their super fucked-up kids had been raised on The Beatles and Guided By Voices and had managed to live long enough without killing themselves to make a record, the result might sound a lot like Hotel St. George. Their music is heavily guitar-based with nouveau punk vocals, slick instrumental production that pays homage to the 70s DIY sound without quite emulating it, and enough harmonic complexity to set up and execute some brilliant hooks. There’s really nothing to dislike here, and there’s a whole lot to merit repeat listens. But on first contact, Hotel St. George does little to grab and secure its listenership. I put it on, thought, “this is pretty good,” and went back to listening to Queensryche. City Boy Lemon, their latest LP release, is a grower not a show-er, and I’ve come back to it again and again over the past couple weeks with an eager ear to the melodic contour of their songs and the pure joy of dancing around in my underwear while Matt Binder sings “I always dream of sex, I always dream of death, it’s always on my mind, it’s always on my mind.” Cute stuff. In sum, I’ve decided that I really like this band, and I’d like to share them with you guys. They came to be over Thanksgiving 2008, when bassist/guitarist Erik Visnyak sat down at singer/guitarist Matt Binder’s borrowed Wurlitzer piano and immediately proceeded to spill a glass of red wine on the poor creature. At this point, there were really only two things they could have done: fight to the death, or form a band. They chose the latter, bringing Brian Leader in on drums and Brian Reilly on guitar. In a mere two months their first EP Yippee!!! came to be, and its modestly penned punk ditties earned the band two nominations at the San Diego Music Awards. Hotel St. George’s second release, Hundreds & Thousands, primarily featured Binder’s more subtle and complex songwriting, which subsequently isolated their original fanbase of punk fans while garnering a new listenership amongst the indie crowd. Their next record, City Boy Lemon, split the difference between the two previous albums and offers sophistication without sacrificing an overarching punk aesthetic. Their next album promises to be a keyboard-based endeavor, which is no doubt an attempt to resolve some deep and pervasive tension regarding the Wurlitzer incident. I suppose making an album is, in fact, marginally cheaper than extended group therapy. The two songs offered up on the 7-inch turntable today are “Apples & Pears” and “Island Man,” the first track hearkening back to the band’s roots in 70s punk and the second hinting at 2010’s pop keyboard epic Fun Shine Line. I love all my children equally, but if someone put a gun to my head and asked me to pick one song to use as the A-side on some imaginary “Best of Ampeater” 7-inch, “Apples & Pears” would immediately come to mind. It mellows out after the first 14 seconds or so, but those first 14 seconds, man, pure gold. Never underestimate the power of a repeated ascending guitar lick–this song doesn’t so much start as it does launch. Actually, that’s a great analogy for what the song actually does. Once the intro riff rockets cut out, the song settles in comfortable orbit around Matt Binder’s delicious (though at times borderline crooning) punk vocals. Every time I wonder whether the tune’s leveled out for good, that guitar riff comes back in and propels it to greater heights. Hotel St. George has mastered the manipulation of tension and delayed gratification that makes for a truly compelling song, and “Apples & Pears” is a perfect example. If A-side “Apples & Pears” is a look back at the classic punk aesthetic that formed the basis of Hotel St. George’s music up until City Boy Lemon, B-side “Island Man” has a forward-looking indie vibe that hints at even greater things to come. That said, while their punk stylings are rock solid and ingeniously crafted, their indie chops are less perfectly developed. After a short vocal intro, the song lopes along for a couple seconds until it slams us with a pop chorus of “bop bop ba da, ba ba bada da”. This is a great maneuver, but the killer thing about “Island Man” is that it’s preciously short, clocking in at 2:30, and the “bops” only show up twice in the whole song. The solution? Loop that shit. You know that little repeat(1) button on your iPod? I use that a lot with this guy–usually 3 or 4 times does me good. “Island Man” gives us a peculiar marriage in a punk-length tune with pop features, and I feel like some of the melodic ideas could use a little bit more room to breathe and expand, or hell, just repeat a couple times. That’s not to say that the pop features are themselves lacking in some way (in fact that’s not at all the case, they’re brilliant), but I nevertheless can’t wait to hear how this sound evolves and matures on Fun Shine Line. Matt Binder’s voice does something unique on these tunes–while his punk-oriented vocals are a nod to his predecessors, he shows some individual character in the pop tunes that’s apart from any immediate influence. This is where Binder as Binder shines through, and it’s a good indication of Hotel St. George’s potential for growth as we race towards 2010 and the “new” Hotel St. George. Godspeed boys.

We're gearing up to go record another record. We have eleven songs ready to go and about a month until we enter the studio. For this record we've made some big changes. Brian has moved from lead guitar to keyboards and bass synth and Erik has moved from bass to lead guitar. Simon and Matt are staying put for the time being. However, the songs have definitely taken on a totally different feel. We look forward to getting on with it. Here's what we got so far.
1. 1000 Years
2. All the Children Go Wild
3. Ready Set Go, Ready Set Stop
4. Stand on the Backs of Giants
5. Little Childrens Bones
6. Killing Worms
7. A Drink & a Cigarette
8. I'd Rather Be the One that Kills
9. How's your mother
10. 1001 Years
11. That's why I drink every night

Current mood:  sneaky
Mix mastersLocals Hotel St. George are a genre-blending song factory By Dryw Keltz
Hotel St. George has only been together for a year and a half, but you wouldn’t guess it by the amount of material the San Diego band has released. “Quantity, not quality,” is how lead singer / guitarist Matt Binder jokingly describes their output. The current count is: a three-song demo, a five-song EP, a seven-song MP (a “moderate play” release is what the band members prefer to call it) and a full-length album. The latter is City Boy Lemon; a small Los Angeles label, This is Tightrope, will do a 500-copy vinyl run of the 10-song release this month. “On this record, we tried to change up the instruments a lot more,” bass player Erik Visnyak says. “Different people play different instruments on different songs. Me, Matt and Brian [Riley, lead guitar] really kind of rotated. Everyone got their own little take of how they played guitar, bass or keyboards.” Drummer Simon Leader, the lone Brit in the group, was left out of the musical chairs. The band likes to mislead people by telling them it was because he was pulling double duty on vocals and drums, but it’s actually Binder, an American, singing with a noticeable British accent. The band also seems dead-set on rotating songwriting duties, and their dynamic is steadfastly democratic when it comes to introducing new material. Moreover, they seem to have developed safety mechanisms to ensure that every release sounds different from the last. “Hundreds and Thousands [the seven-song MP] was mostly [complete] songs that I brought in, and for City Boy Lemon it was music first and then lyrics,” Binder explains. “Some songs Erik brought in on guitar, some songs Brian brought in on guitar and some songs I brought in on guitar, but most of them would evolve more within the jam process than the last record, which was written beforehand. On Yippee [the five-song EP] Erik and Brian did all the writing.” City Boy Lemon is the band’s most mature effort yet. Its greatest asset is its ability to genre-hop while remaining true to their core sound. To give an idea of the different ends of the spectrum these guys draw inspiration from, Binder cites as an influence Guided By Voices, and Leader digs ’90s Brit-rock such as Suede and Manic Street Preachers, while Visnyak can’t get enough of the latest disc by metal band Mastodon. “The reason I like the band is because everyone has a really open mind,” Visnyak says. “When you get a bunch of people with different influences and they mesh together—I think that makes something unique. If everyone in the band really likes one band, you kind of get a band that just sounds like that band.” With San Diego’s music scene lately generating some hype, it’s surprising to learn that these guys have actually experienced more success a couple of hours north. They met the crew from This is Tightrope at a show in L.A.; the label seems to be a one-stop shop for the fledgling bands it picks up. “They came out to a show we played at a bowling alley based on a recommendation from our person at BMI. They’re sort of like friends, management, label—just like a collective thing. They have helped us out with every avenue: getting us on compilation discs, getting us shows, getting us shows at CMJ,” Binder says. Meanwhile, the band’s musical barrage continues, but this time there’s a twist in the songwriting. “We already have three or four new songs after [City Boy Lemon] comes out,” Binder says, “and we’ve made a rule for ourselves that we have to write with [keyboards]. Usually, we write with guitars and add keys in the recording process. A lot of the new songs don’t even have bass—it’s just like Doors-style with the two keyboards.” So, place your bets now for the third LP. The smart money is on all drums and saxophones with an occasional kazoo.

Since coming together in 2007 Hotel St George have been busy building a name for themselves in their native San Diego. After two well received EP releases the band is coming back with their debut full length, City Boy Lemon, in August.
City Boy Lemon is an album that comes at your in short, sweet bursts. Loose basslines and slightly nasally vocals from singer Matt Binder punctuate these catchy indie rock gems.
If you're looking for a rumbling rhythm section and wailing guitars you're looking in the wrong place. The frenetic "Welcome To the Sun" and the hammering rocker "All the Rich Folk" are atypical of what you'll find on the album.
What you will get are hook-laden ditties which seem to draw upon early '80s English post-punk for inspiration. Binder's vocal delivery are a welcome throwback to that era, making a tune like "Apples & Pears" downright XTC-esque.
These boys can truly pen a catchy tune. The woo-woos of "All Those Dancing Stars" or the buh-buh of the sunny party pop "Island Man" will reel you in and keep you hooked. I defy you to resist singing along to the closing refrain of "Good In the Bad" or nodding your head to the drumbeat of "Jealous Boys".
City Boy Lemon is one heck of a debut. I'm already anticipating the next one.
Best tracks: "Good In the Bad", "Island Man"
Track listing for City Boy Lemon: Simple Man Welcome To the Sun Apples & Pears All Those Dancing Stars Good In the Bad Jealous Boys Trouble Island Man City Boy Lemon All the Rich Folk
8.5/10 Hotel St George's Myspacewww.sawkick.com Hotel St. GeorgeCity Boy LemonIndependent WebsiteI’m going to be perfectly honest. When I first heard City Boy Lemon, the first LP from San Diego quartet Hotel St. George, I was disappointed—disappointed because I thought I was going to have to give it a lesser rating than their previous Hundreds & Thousands EP. That release showed gradual improvement over the Yippee!!! EP before it, so naturally I assumed the band’s debut full-length would further develop the more immediate, dare I say ballsier punk-infused presentation of the predecessor. It didn’t… …not how I thought it would. Except with each listen, Lemon yields sweet surprises under each layer you take the time to peel back. The choir-like backing voices sprinkled in the raucous “Welcome To the Sun” provide a nice foil for an ear-piercing guitar and Matt Binder’s spitting reverbed lead vocal. While listening to “All Those Dancing Stars,” it’s so easy to imagine a conventionally fluid guitar guiding the way. But instead, it’s crunchy and dirty, and how fitting for a song about insomnia. On a side note, I can attest to the effectiveness of “Stars.” I had it along with one of those one-track dreams you can’t seem to escape (this one revolved around Wiffle Ball) stuck in my head the other night. As I tossed and turned my way through a horribly choppy sleep, the sections that kept coming back to me on repeat were the “oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh” lead-up to the chorus and the chorus itself: “Don’t dream of love or sex / I only dream of death / Yes it’s always on my mind / It’s always on my mind.” While I’m happy to say I didn’t fall off any cliffs, as much as I tried I couldn’t make the love or sex happen. Thanks a lot, guys. I’m through going into a Hotel St. George release with any expectations, save for maybe one: They have an ability-driven curiosity. In my first review more than a year ago, I said they had potential. The difference between then and now is simple. As much as I enjoyed Yippee!!!, it had its limitations. Now, I think the band is beyond that. They move in almost any direction they desire and make it successful on some level. For instance, “Jealous Boys” reminds me of a Cut Off Your Hands song. So what? It’s good, and more importantly, fits the flow of the album. I could go into specifics of what sets Hotel St. George apart from Cut Off Your Hands and everyone else—the unmistakably distinctive lead vocals, unconventional song structures and so on—but then I’d be repeating myself from previous entries. I’m not saying they’re The Clash or Elvis Costello or No Doubt. (Those are artists I think of who brilliantly navigated through trends while breaking new ground at the same time.) It’s much too early for such bold claims. What I am saying is they have a fear of being typecast that could work to their advantage. If of course they aren’t forced to check out early for overextending themselves. 4.5 / 6 McCarthys www.melodygeek.comHotel St. George – City Boy Lemon•July 30, 2009 • Leave a Comment  This is something a bit different for Melodygeek. Matt Binder, lead singer of Hotel St. George sent us a copy of their forthcoming album City Boy Lemon. We do not really do record reviews on this site because we already have trouble enough keeping up with the shows we go to, but maybe we will start sometime in the future. Hotel St. George are a power pop/punk band specializing in fast songs with melody at its core. Fans of the Jam, Buzzcocks and other groups of that ilk will likely enjoy the band. Power pop is one of my musical nerd passions. I’ve seen HSG several times live now, and I am surprised to report that the album manages to be superior to their performances. The production is top notch, packed with loads of harmonies, and Binder’s voice sounds stellar, although his nasal style has been known to be a turn-off to some. I say give them another try if you previously dismissed the act, as the songs on City Boy Lemon are so irresistibly catchy they will be worming their way through your ears for weeks. My personal favorite is the song “Island Boy.” Its just damn good pop. If you told me Andy Partridge wrote this gem, I’d probably believe you, it is that fucking good. The band holding a record release show August 13th at the Casbah with Writer, Intricate Machines and Swim Party. A show not to be missed. Here’s track 8 off City Boy Lemon. ..

I found out today that our song It's the Blues (Watch Out) was chosen
as a finalist for a contest. The winner of the contest gets their tune
in the new video game MLB 2K10. Here's the rub. It's one of those
things where you have to get your friends/fans/parents to vote for your
song. To vote you have to go to www.spin.com
and register to be a member. Once you're a member you can login and
push the community button where you can vote for us. It's annoying I
know but we appreciate it. thanks, Matt

Current mood:  optimistic
it's been 3 months since we released Hundreds & Thousands so i reckon it's about time we record another batch.... this time we're aiming for a full length.... ten songs is my best guess.... also, this time we're hoping for a little support in terms of distribution or whatever it is that record labels do these days... more to come on that... anyways, we have 8 songs that are ready to go and a couple more that are getting close... tentative song titles for the new songs are:
Apples & Pears
Island Man
Jealous Boys
Simple Men
T-R-O-U-BLE
Good in the Bad
Welcome to the Sun
All The Rich Folk
These songs are gonna offer a bunch more variety than the Hundred & Thousands collection... If you have been to any of our recent shows you have probably heard some if not all of these tunes..... anyways, stay tuned

http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2009/jan/07/da-bears-modern-rifles-hotel-st-george/ Artist: Hotel St. George
Song: "I Was Only Sleeping" (from the CD Hundreds & Thousands)
Heard By: Linda Mata, South Bay Audio Clip Hotel St. George: "I Was Only Sleeping" .. --> /inline-content --> .. --> /inline-audioclips --> I actually liked it. I don't really like alternative rock, but I liked the beat. It made you feel like going fast through the desert — driving in a car 80 miles an hour, looking for something. It kind of reminded me at first of the Beatles. I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. I just remember [lyrics about] being lost about something or someone. I could see that song on the radio. It's pretty upbeat. You can put that song into any category. It's not really stuck into any certain music type — it's not soul or rock. I'd probably give it a seven and a half or eight out of ten.

Hotel St. George
Hundreds & Thousands
Independent

All in all, I'd have to say it was a pretty good night.
My buddy and I had just seen the Cavs grind out a victory against Philly in what was their 11th straight win, tying a franchise record. Ben Wallace wigs still on our heads, we got in my car, tucked way in the back of the Tower City Center Parking garage. Needless to say, we'd be waiting awhile.
After literally moving only inches in the first five minutes and being snubbed by a man with a porn-stache in a minivan, I decided I might as well get comfortable. Earlier that day, I'd received a disc in the mail by a still-unsigned quartet from San Diego. I proceeded to furiously rip away its clear plastic prison and threw it in the player.
I first heard Hotel St. George earlier this summer. I distinctly remember getting the Yippee!!! EP and listening to it in my car after recording a podcast for this website at Saw*Kick headquarters. Pleasantly surprised, I didn't only hear a catchy bundle of songs; I heard potential.
And so, back to the scene a couple weeks ago after the game.
Knowing full and well that my buddy is an avid metal fan — I'm not talking about some trendster, but someone who listens to Mastodon, Opeth, Necrophobic and stuff that genuinely scares the shit out of me — I nevertheless decided to test out this new, seven-track EP, Hundreds & Thousands, entirely ready to defend against an almost-certain brutal onslaught. The Prince of Darkness himself would smile ear-to-ear at the filth about to be spewed all over the inside of my Civic. It never came.
I think that's because while Hotel St. George is definitely a pop-rock act with a punk drive and energy, there's something about it that slightly transcends genre. Is the result the reinvention of rock 'n' roll? No, it's just damn fun. With each song comes distinction; more importantly, with each song comes new surprises.
Would it be a stretch to say a group sounding nothing like the Jesus and Mary Chain maybe draws some inspiration from the Scottish brothers? "I Was Only Sleeping" and "New Friend" seem to structurally follow the '80s indie icons' keen ability to take a three-to-four minute song in a completely anomalous, always-catchier-than-the-rest-of-the-composition direction — like a pseudo mini-movement. As soon as you hear it, you have to crank it up.
In my earlier review of the other 2008 EP, I said it'd be nice to see what this band could do with more studio attention. Tracks such as the opener, "Nothing Here For You to See" and "Better Than This" begin to tackle the issue: clean, booming production, faster, tighter instrumentation and clear, driving bass riffs that guide the music much in the way Mike Dirnt did (does) with Green Day.
But even with a punchier sound, I can't help but think there was a slight trade off of creativity and uniqueness for accessibility and familiarity. Nevertheless, the end result is worth it as the band continues to find itself.
Later as I was driving, finally free from the herd in the parking lot, my friend said, "It's not pretentious," almost as if he were expecting it to be. It's not pretentious. Sure, that's kind of vague — like saying, "Cavs win!" Either way, it has a nice ring to it.

Island Man
Took a trip on a sailing ship
Picked a captain on a booky's tip
He's got it made
Traded his fortune for a sunny day
He found an island made of sand
Built his home there with his own two hands
Oh, ain't life grand
It is what it is when you own your own island
Island man left and gone away
Gone to a place that he might like to stay
....... What a trip........ What a trip
Island man found salvation on this land
.........What a trip........What a trip
Welcome to the Sun
Woke up to the hot yellow sun
Beating down on me
Doesn't sound like fun
No fun
Wasn't any fun
Went down stairs to read the morning news
It read guess what the Phillies Lose
They've lost again
They're losers
A drunken world had held him hostage upon a starry dream
Finished my meal and stepped outside
Hoping to go for a ride on my bicycle
My two wheeled bicycle
I got two blocks and the wheels went flat
The steerings bent and that was that was that
Had to walk it home
A drunken world had held him hostage upon a starry dream
