Bands You Should Know: Saint Motel (Exclusive Interview + "Ace in the Hole" Cover)

For our latest installment of Bands You Should Know we picked the talented Saint Motel. The band is comprised of vocalist/guitarist A/J Jackson along with Greg, ASharp and Dak. They joined forces in early 2009 and have been doing work since. They’re originally from the LA area and are starting to shake things up on a national level. You can learn a little bit about these guys with a quick google search, but let's be honest.. we wanted to know more. So naturally we decided to ask the band ourselves. They were kind enough to answer our questions and even graced us with the Exclusive Release for their cover of Ace in the Hole, played by SoCal piano legend Vince Torney. You can see it here on The Eargazm first! Check out what they had to say and listen to a few of their best tracks below:

ASCAP recently interviewed Alex Heffes on his score to Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Learn what Heffes has to say about the overall impact of working on this powerful film.

Film Music Friday: Alex Heffes on Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

Alex Heffes (PRS) is one of the brightest composing talents to emerge from England in recent years. His scores to Kevin Macdonald’s Oscar winners One Day in September, The Last King of Scotland and Touching the Void brought him to international attention; in 2011, the World Soundtrack Academy named Heffes their Discovery of the Year. ForMandela: Long Walk to Freedom, his second collaboration with director Justin Chadwick (The First Grader), Heffes traveled from London to South Africa to capture the spirit of the South African leader and the people that he helped to liberate. We asked Heffes about his journey in this video interview.

Watch the interview on the ASCAP website.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is now showing in select theaters!

Fil Eisler Featured on Entertainment Tonight

Fil Eisler gives ET a behind-the-scenes look into creating the score for ABC’s Revenge!

Creating the Sound of ‘Revenge’ By DAVID WEINER

The intense drama and atmospheric tension of ABC’s Revenge would be practically nil if it weren’t for the show’s incredibly inventive musical soundtrack to support the action. Now, we’ve got an exclusive look behind the scenes of the show with its composer Fil Eisler, aka iZLER. Watch the video!

From drawing inspiration on the set to literally sifting through junk to find just the right, surprisingly off-kilter sound to bolster Emily Van Camp, Madeleine Stowe and Gabriel Mann’s performances, watch the intriguing and sometimes capricious musical process that Eisler navigates to elevate Revenge to the next level.
