Spoiler alert: Aquilo’s song I Gave It All will make the Top Songs of 2014 list next month. The English duo have a heartbreaking song with an outstanding chorus. They now have a wonderful video full of heartbreak, too. The...
No, the dude from Entourage doesn’t have a music career that features on PHM. Turtle is in fact a Glasgow-based producer named Jon Cooper. He is following up his Who Knows EP with his latest EP, Colours. Our first listen...
We have some catchy indie pop from a duo from Seattle. They are called Sisters, although due to the male member of the band, I don’t think the bandmates themselves are sisters. OR ARE THEY?! The band’s debut EP is...
If Zooey Deschanel asks you to stay awhile, you don’t move at all – your dreams have come true! Unfortunately, she is merely singing these words as part of her gig in She & Him with M. Ward. She &...
Followers of PHM (do they exist?!) should know we’re big fans of Vaults. Recently, we’ve posted tracks Lifespan, Vultures, and Poison. Next up in the batter’s order is Mend This Love. The song has a bit of a different vibe...
As the snow starts falling on Toronto, and has been covering the rest of the country since about August, Canadian indie rock band Rah Rah have just the aptly named song for you. Thankfully, the song isn’t as wordy as...

We have a cool new video for a great track by Rural Alberta Advantage. The track is called Vulcan, AB (that’s Alberta, for those who are poor at Canadian geography). Is this a real town? You bet your Spock action...
Mt. Wolf is one of those rare bands that exists in my musical history. I randomly saw them play one of their first ever shows, in London, England. They absolutely blew in me away. They started to get some coverage...
We’ve posted about Misun more than enough times. It’s an easy task, when the aggressive, eclectic indie pop band pump out great tracks. We recently posted the title track to the new album, Superstitions. Now you can stream the whole...
We are non-apologetic Alt-J fans here at PeteHatesMusic. We caught them a couple of times in 2013 (at Osheaga, and at Sound Academy), and happened to catch them before they released their Mercury Prize winning debut, when they played for...
We discovered, and were impressed with, NZCA Lines at the Camden Crawl back in 2012. We have a new track that we can share with you (which is a legitimate release, and was not released under duress for the purposes...
The new Vaults EP has 4 tracks on it, and the band have now released a second one for our listening pleasure. Following up the lovely Vultures is a track called Poison. More standout vocals from the English trio, delivered...
After being won over during an excellent Osheaga set in 2013, I’m happy to see the return of Father John Misty. The folk singer (and former Fleet Foxes drummer) has a new album called I Love You, Honeybear, out February...
Time for me to kick back and relax. PHM Special contributor Dan has another couple of playlists for you, which makes my life easier – more time for me to learn to tie my shoelaces. Dan has cooked up 10...
