More new stuff from the tandem of Danger Mouse and James Mercer aka Broken Bells. Following up Holding On For Life is the title track from their second collaborative album – After the Disco. Mercer provides a catchy, upbeat chorus,...
Earlier today, we posted the third new song off of Bombay Bicycle Club’s upcoming album, So Long, See You Tomorrow. With a new album out on February 4, surely the band will be touring, right? Not only will they be...
Feast your ears (if such a thing can be done) on Lachlan Bostock and Alex Nicholls, a duo based in Sydney, Australia. They’re known as Mansionair, which sounds French and fancy. I’m neither French nor fancy, in case you were...
We have something from Washington DC for you, and it ain’t Obama doing karaoke. The band are Misun, which sounds like a random pharmacy drug. Maybe it is! The band has a track called Nothing Else, which is a catchy...

It’s almost 2014, which means the Mayans were wrong! Oh wait, I guess we’ve known that for a year. Well, in anticipation of whatever apocalypse awaits us, I figured I should furiously clear out my musical bookmarks of songs that...
Lots of comparisons have been made between the ice storm and power outages that hit Toronto the same day Kanye West arrived in Toronto for his first of two rescheduled shows (due to damaged equipment from a truck accident). I...

Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic We’re nearing the end of our Best Of 2013 week. We’ve now arrived at one of the most anticipated categories – the PeteHatesMusic Top Songs of 2013. After keeping a list all year, both Rich and I have...
