Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic Hot on the heels of our Top Songs of 2016 list comes our Top Albums of 2016. Sadly, the Jingle Cats failed to release an album this year, so they are not featured. We’ll keep it short and...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic I’ve been a bit of an absentee father from the blog the past few months (depending on how generous your definition of “few” is). Excuses include travelling to Iceland, travelling to New York (and seeing CHVRCHES at Radio...
It’s week 2 of March, and it is once again time to make your ears happy (so stopping stabbing them with Q-tips). We have a playlist of 5 tracks for you to test drive. The new Frightened Rabbit tune is...
So many good songs, so little time. Check out new stuff from Frightened Rabbit and Weezer, plus a Kanye West cover by Stars. Come make your ears happy on this lovely Friday.
Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison returns with another new song from his Owl John side project. And he decided to name a track after me – how kind. The song is called Stupid Boy, and is a short, simple number....
We interviewed the lovely Frightened Rabbit last year, and even caught them at Osheaga for good measure. Singer Scott Hutchison has decided to go it alone (much like me on every single date), and is doing so under the Owl...
BBC Sound of 2014 winner Sam Smith has good news and bad news. The bad is that he won’t be playing in my backyard for me, ever. Oh, and he also delayed his debut album In The Lonely Hour until...

Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit have been very busy lads. They dropped the excellent record Pedestrian Verse. They followed that up with the EP Late March, Death March, and have been trotting out songs from that EP. They even squeezed...
Singer Scott Hutchison started performing many years ago, adopting a stage name that was his mom’s nickname for him – Frightened Rabbit – due to his shyness. Based on his hilarious stage banter that we witnessed at Osheaga, he’s either...
Frightened Rabbit are slowly laundering money putting up tracks from their new EP onto the Internet. If they’re trying to excite fans, they are succeeding (based solely on a survey of people typing this post). Candelit (which is how I...
We just saw Scottish indie rockers Frightened Rabbit play an excellent set at Osheaga, complete with great stage banter. We also have an interview lined up with the band, so keep an eye out for that. Something else you should...
