Hotel Mira's glam struck power pop rocker "This Could Be It For Me" shines (Official Video)

"This could be it for me."

Hotel Mira's glam struck power pop rocker This Could Be It For Me from their full blown  “Perfectionism” full length is a face slapping good time. From the over arching theatricality poised in art rock and power pop goodness to the charm school lyricism and "la la la la la's" it is shiny sweet lipstick smeared indie rock with heavy pop leanings. It is super produced but that is not a bad thing for this genre, so was T-Rex and Sweet after all. 

Vancouver’s Hotel Mira is the latest project fronted by JPNSGRLS art rock smart Charlie Kerr (lead vox) along with new band mates Colton Lauro (guitar), Mike Noble (bass) and Clark Grieve (keys). If This Could Be It For Me portends what is on the 10 other tracks on "Perfectionism" we best be prepared for getting our collectives pants charmed off. 

The Official Video is full of playful bad boy stuff cast in multicolored lighting. I love it as much as the song.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Vancouver’s Hotel Mira is the latest project fronted by JPNSGRLS mastermind Charlie Kerr. The singer and his new bandmates – guitarist Colton Lauro, bassist Mike Noble and keyboardist Clark Grieve – have taken the sound out of the garage and into a considerably lusher landscape, as heard on Hotel Mira’s debut LP “Perfectionism.”

Working with Grammy-award winning producer Eric Ratz (Billy Talent, Arkells), Kerr directed his creative energy at writing sharper hooks and more memorable melodies. The results – as heard on charged-up numbers like “The Eyes On You” and “This Could Be It For Me” – are songs that boast anthemic, soaring choruses while sacrificing none of their sheer rock ‘n’ roll energy.

The sound showcased on “Perfectionism” is wrapped up in a polished, pungent, yet untethered and cracked aesthetic. There’s no such thing as perfect, nor should there be, and this album communicates exactly that, lyrically and sonically. Kerr and company have created an 11-track masterpiece that tempts the listener through stories of relationships, growth and the struggle to live in one’s own mind. The infectious project is impeccably crafted, making Hotel Mira well worth checking into.
