Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic “New Year’s Resolution for 2018: Blog at least twice a month”. Mission unaccomplished! I started off well, and listened to a lot of music (60000+ minutes according to Spotify), but this didn’t translate to playlists that I published....
April has rolled around, and a lot of artists are dropping new songs (that’s how it works, Pete), some even 2 songs at a time. This means your playlist doesn’t necessarily have a large number of different artists, because I...
I might have blown my goal of doing 2 PHM posts a month, but New Year’s Resolutions are meant to be broken. Proof: I haven’t seen the inside of a gym since 2007 – easiest resolution ever to break. This...
I guess since the sun or whoever decides leap years decided not to have one this year, I need to quickly crank out a playlist to meet my end of February deadline. Luckily, good music seems to fall out of...
We’re halfway through February, which means if you’re reading this, you survived Valentine’s Day. A bird shit on me that day, so it must be love. This is where a lazy writer would make a lame love segue to their...
Our favourite Scottish band that we’ve interviewed in person (which limits it to one, but stick with me) returns with a new song and a new album announcement. That band is CHVRCHES, and that album is Every Open Eye, which...
We here at PeteHatesMusic are lucky enough to have the talented Martin Bazyl from Martin Bazyl Photography shooting most of the shows we attend. He’s been there for several CMW and NXNE festivals, as well as weekend benders like Field...
CHVRCHES just recently debuted a new song as part of the re-imagined Drive soundtrack. Now they have another track, from the The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack (that’s a mouthful). Dead Air is vintage CHVRCHES sound (and that’s not...
PHM favourites CHVRCHES have a new song for an interesting reworking of the Drive soundtrack. BBC Radio overlord Zane Lowe is revamping the soundtrack to the Ryan Gosling flick Drive, with the permission of the director, of course. Lowe’s curation...
Osheaga 2014 Day 3: Arctic Monkeys show they deserve to be festival headliners in North America, too. The first two days of Osheaga were great. The crowd was fun, and they even had cool signs and objects. One guy had...
Day 2 of Field Trip! Check out our Day 1 review and photos over here. Enough chatter – read below to find out how the Sunday events for Field Trip in Toronto went. Spoiler alert: swimmingly. Gord Downie, the Sadies...
PHM favourites CHVRCHES have a new remix. The track is off of last year’s debut The Bones of What You Believe, and is done by the Range (who is James Hinton to his parents). The track is not simply taking...
Dallas Green and his City & Colour moniker have a new song from fourth album, The Hurry and the Harm. The Juno nominee and performer new song is called The Lonely Life and is seemingly named after me. *tear The...
Bands sure love covering Arctic Monkeys. We’ve had MS MR perform Do I Wanna Know?, and Queens of the Stone Age sing Why You Always Call Me When You’re High. Miley Cyrus also did a cover which I thankfully didn’t...
One of our more popular posts every year is our list of indie songs that deal with breakups, heartbreak, and rejection. Perhaps I should include a link to some therapy sites at the bottom of the page (or if you’re...
