As summer grinds to a halt (or hasn’t even really begun in Toronto), how about a bit of a summery tune to brighten your day? This comes via Polarsets, who we’ve featured several times over the years, including lead album...
Mercury Prize winners Alt-J have debuted their third track from yet-to-be released sophomore album, This Is All Yours. The track is called Every Other Freckle, and must be about the Irish, right? The track once again feels ‘different’ than the...
More twins on PHM. Just a few days ago, we featured twin sisters Ibeyi and their cool video. Today, we have twin brothers and their act Formation. The London duo have a cool summer jam called All the Rest is...
We have some high tempo indie rock from Sydney, Australia for you. Following up previously featured tracks Coming Back to You, Take Your Rest, and As You’d Begin is their latest offering, You Can’t Change It. Hopefully the song isn’t...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic Good news for lovers of Canadian indie pop band Stars. The Montreal/Toronto band return with their 7th album, No One is Lost, which clearly doesn’t describe my family’s road trips. The band’s first single is a somewhat surprising...
Back in June, we posted a track from young Los Angeles singer Ryn Weaver, and it turned out to be one of our most popular posts over the past month. The track OctaHate, was made with help from Cashmere Cat...
As we delayed posting Harrison’s first track, this is a great time to post something new by the Toronto producer, and introduce to the song that we were too lazy busy to originally post. The latest effort is called Maybe...
We caught Dundas, Ontario indie rock act The Dirty Nil during Canadian Music Week. We noted they have a bit of a hard rock Weezer vibe, and their latest track cements that image in my head (and erases the images...
A cool pop track and an even cooler video from sisters Ibeyi. Vocal and drum effects are prevelant on slow pop track River. The video for River may be even cooler than the track itself. The sisters take turns singing...
We featured the debut song of duo Pr0files last year, and really dug the vibes of Call Yourself a Lover. After hearing not much for almost a year, much like me on online dating sites, Pr0files have returned with a...
More good indie rock out of Toronto – how about that? The band are called The Black Fever, and are playing an EP release show Saturday, August 16 at Rancho Relaxo. The Black Fever, which I imagine is not a...
Up and coming Toronto indie rockers, Alvvays, have a brand new video. The grainy video is for the song Archie, Marry Me. But who says that – Betty or Veronica? The track has a bit of a 90s vibe to...
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...
Osheaga 2014 Day 2: Jack White rocks the crowd, while I take notes in an non-sober manner. Today was equally humid, with threats of thunderstorms in the weather forecasts. Thankfully, they never panned out, much like my music career. Local...
Osheaga 2014 Day 1: Hot hot heat, and not the Canadian band Osheaga 2014 had 6 stages, and 3 big headliners throughout the weekend. Like the 2013 edition, this edition was also a sell out. Again like last year, the...
