Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic New Year’s Resolution for 2018: Blog at least twice a month. Life gets busy, and travelling for the past 2 months has meant 0 blog posts (ignore the months before that please…). I’ll make it up to you...
It’s been awhile, and I’m not quoting the ‘great’ 90s band Staind. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and since we haven’t given you a playlist of late, you get a monster playlist. This playlist, of course, has indie bands...
I started to make a playlist, and then new songs kept dropping, and new songs kept dropping, and new songs kept dropping, and I just couldn’t keep up. So you get a bigger than usual playlist, which is slightly later...
No need to pinch yourself – you’re not dreaming – I actually posted two days in a row for the first time since before President Trump started destroying Planet Earth. This must mean one thing: I quit my job! there...
Pinch, punch, first of the month, no returns – (if you’re not English, you’ll think I’ve lost the plot). A new month brings a new playlist (and another month of bills). Let’s forget the depressing stuff and talk about the...
As I put away my rubber rain boots and pull out my summer dresses, I’m reminded that I am a man who doesn’t wear dresses, and that I should also probably make a new playlist. We see the return of...
Let us kick off your May Day celebrations with a short little playlist of revolution-themed music. Not really, but a few singers from big indie bands stepping out solo, dropping good new tracks, and that’s what May Day is all...
Canadian Music Week ended with a huge bang from mainstay of the post-rock movement, Explosions in the Sky, at The Rebel, aka swankier Sound Academy. The new roof really makes the venue look “classy”. They closed things out this past...
Because I listen to so much music (so many musics?), I don’t remember every single band I’ve posted. I try to follow them on Spotify or Soundcloud or Twitter to keep up with new tracks, especially if they’re smaller bands...
Although it’s Canadian Music Week, I can still find time to do some posts – that’s how much I hate love music. You get a mix of some brand new stuff, some kind of new stuff, and some new to...
My Wednesday night Canadian Music Week gigfest continued with the band known as Goodbye Honolulu, also playing at Monarch Tavern, convenient for some delicious Bitondo’s Pizza after the show. Well, it would’ve been, had the place not closed at 11pm!...
After a pause to watch Game 4 between the Leafs and Capitals (let’s not talk about the disappointing result), the second band on my bill for a Wednesday night Canadian Music Week show was Dentist from New Jersey. First Impressions:...
I missed night 1 of Canadian Music Week 2017 – but who cares, as Wednesday is the new Tuesday (or something like that). So this is my night 1, and I kicked it off right, checking out Basement Revolver (and...
Canadian Music Week is back, and has moved from its May slot back a few weeks into April. This year’s edition is April 18 to 23, and promises to be another good one. Following our coverage in 2013 (where we...
Since I missed my April Fool’s Day prank of making an ironically shitty playlist (Whoomp There It Is, plus 15 Whoomp remixes), you’ll have to settle for songs I like instead. Probably a much better deal. We have a slew...
