ACEHOYLE.COM LAUNCHES MUSIC & VIDEO SECTION

Noir-themed gambling guide releases its official theme song and announces forthcoming developments.

For Immediate Release

Road Town, Tortola – [18th March] 2010 – Today, leading Web-development firm, MediaTier Ltd., christened AceHoyle.com’s Music & Videos section with the release of an original theme song by Boston indie rockers The Honors.

The new track, titled “Ace of Face,” is a tongue-in-cheek homage to theme songs from 1980s media franchises like “Masters of the Universe” and “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.” A specially commissioned project, it will only be available for purchase through AceHoyle.com’s official store, Dick’s Dastardly Den.

The release coincides with the launch of AceHoyle.com’s Hoyle-ites Radio, which will allow users to select between and play the site’s musical offerings. Initially, the playlist will only include “Ace of Face.” However, additional songs will be added when AceHoyle.com’s Sonic Showdown Contest launches later this year.

Alongside the Sonic Showdown AceHoyle.com will launch a Hoyle-ites Video Diary tool that will allow users to upload music, movies and other content. The ongoing contest will invite any band registered with the site to compete for prize money and a chance to have its song appear on the official “Adventures of Ace Hoyle” soundtrack.

The Honors’ offering is already scheduled to appear on the forthcoming record, which will be for sale in Dick’s Dastardly Den. It will also figure into several other projects, including a flash-animation Web-comics upgrade, an official Facebook application and an animated series slated for 2011.

Commenting on the theme song, AceHoyle.com Executive Editor Phill Provance said, “This is the first of many steps we’re taking to make the site more than just your average gambling portal. The Honors is really such a talented group of guys, and we feel absolutely blessed to have had a chance to work with them.”

Those interested in learning more about The Honors can do so by visiting the band’s homepage or by attending one of their shows. Confirmed appearances include The Great Scott in Allston, Mass., March 12 and The Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, Mass., April 1 and May 8.
