If you are a BeatCrave reader, you know we love the indie rock outfit that is Saint Motel. Four guys who all met in film school and decided to start a band couldn't come off more charming than this. Their shows are always extreme as they incorporate much more technology than most bands. Lead vocalist, A/J Jackson, sounds like a pop-rock version of Grizzly Bear's Edward Droste and they're just a ton of fun to see live.
You may have already seen the "To My Enemies" video if you've bought the EP, ForPlay, but they officially released it online Wednesday and I think it deserves to be seen as well. It's like the game, Clue, mashed up with rock star shenanigans backstage. Whodunnit? Watch it after the jump and enjoy!
