I can't put into word how ecstatic I was when the band 'Motopony' agreed to do an interview with me, they have long been my favourite band, and this opportunity for me is amazing. Due to the guys residing in America, the interview was conducted over Email by the lead singer - Dan.
You can follow the band on their Social Media;

{The First Time is available to watch on Netflix}
A; When the request came in to use 'Wait For Me' from the
director of 'The First Time' all of the sync and licensing questions on the
first record were being handled by our label. We were blowing up and on
the road a lot so a lot of things kind of went by me that weren't immediately
about me learning how to be a touring musician all the sudden. So, I
actually didn't even realize it happened until someone said, "Hey you know
that indy film we said yes to? Well it got picked up by Sony pictures and it
might end up being kind of a big deal." And I was like, "indy
film"? I remember our keyboardist at the time saying "Yeah two
kids put on our record and pretty much loose their virginity to 'wait for
me'." I remember being kinda freaked out like, they did what?
Later having a chance to see it, I felt differently...they actually really
honored us by making that moment with our music and loosing your virginity is a
big deal! Its nice to know that your music is meaningful to people and
that the emotions you were expressing are giving people memory markers for
their life's waypoints, or stories about life's waypoints...at any rate.
