Osheaga 2014 Festival Preview and Band Recommendations (Montreal, August 1 to 3)
Last year, PeteHatesMusic attended our first Osheaga after years of neglecting it for its older brother, Lollapalooza. We enjoyed ourselves, and wrote some words on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 to prove it. The 2014 edition is upon...
Listen! Damon Albarn – Sister Rust
Blur and Gorillaz frontman, Damon Albarn, has contributed to the Lucy soundtrack. Depending who you speak to, Lucy is either riveting or a scientific trainwreck. Thankfully, Damon Albarn gives us something that we can agree is good. The track is...
Listen! Pixel Fix – Overflow
More stuff from Oxford indie band Pixel Fix. They have given us a taste of Lungs from their upcoming Running Thin EP. Now, if you have no desire to run thin and want to sit fat like I am trying...
Listen! Black Rivers – The Ship
I am a big fan of Doves, and posted the solo project from singer Jimi Goodwin earlier this year. Now, the other musical brotherly duo from Manchester and other Doves members – Jez and Andy Williams, have formed a new...
Listen! Polarsets – Madrid
We’ve featured Newcastle trio Polarsets a couple times over the past few years, and their dancey electronic tracks Tropics and Just Don’t Open Your Eyes Yet. Well guess what? They have a new track, and I’m not just wasting your...
Listen! Owl John – Stupid Boy
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....
Listen! Anjou – Sighting
In my quest to discover any and all kinds of post-rock, ambient, and experimental instrumental bands in the early 2000s, I found Labradford, who I quite enjoyed. Two guys from that band, Robert Donne and Mark Nelson, have formed Anjou,...
Listen! Banks – Beggin for Thread
Banks will be releasing Goddess later this year. As she did with her EPs, she is not afraid of sharing, as she’s already given us track like Brain and Goddess. Our latest visit to the Banks (sorry) is with the...
Listen! Laura Doggett – Phoenix
SOHN is back at it again, popping on the producer hat and applying his skills to another talented artist. After helping BANKS, SOHN has given his hands and ears to Laura Doggett, and the track Phoenix. A simple, melodic, and...

Listen! Vaults – Lifespan
Last year, we brought you music from buzz band Vaults, and the track Cry No More, and earlier this year Premonition. The London trio have now signed to a major ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! – Virgin – and dropped their first new track,...
Watch! Alt-J – Hunger Of The Pine
You might have already heard the new Alt-J song Hunger of the Pine, but we’re more visually pleased, so we’ll show you the video. Off of upcoming sophomore album, This is All Yours (out Sept. 22), the track preceded the...
Listen! LABS – Down
Some electropop from Victoria, British Columbia, coming right up. The band are LABS, and not 60 year old retirees, which is surprising since they are from Victoria. Random fact: as I was tagging the band in the blog post, as...
Listen! Blonde Redhead – Dripping
Blonde Redhead return with a very un-Blonde Redhead sounding song, which can be a good thing for people who don’t hate change. The track is Dripping, and is their first song in 4 years. Don’t feel bad, as I ate...
