Watch! Rhye – 3 Days
We were floored by the first new Rhye single, Open. We have another new video from their album, Woman called 3 Days. The video has stock footage of cabaret dances wearing bras. Funny, as footage like this takes up about...

Listen! Glass Gang – The Fall
As Pigeons and Planes points out, alot of bands like to be mysterious. If you hide the identity of your band members, and you put out good songs, this seems to drive up the desire to know and more importantly...
Listen! CFCF – Jump Out of the Train
I meant to get to this last week, but Osheaga got in the way (which is generally a good thing to get in the way of your blogging life). We’ve already heard Camera by CFCF, off of their upcoming album...
Listen! Braids – Fruend
If the goal of Braids is to release every new track slowly before their album release date, then they are succeeding. We’ve already heard In Kind, Amends, and Hossak from upcoming album, Flourish // Perish. We now get a taste...
Listen! Banks – Waiting Game
We’ve been featuring Los Angeles artist Banks since we first heard from her and her track Fall Over. She’s continued to come out with good songs, including Warm Water, produced by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Now we have a slight...
Listen! China Rats – Deadbeat
We’ve been fans of China Rats since the get go, even interviewing the Leeds indie rockers. The band have a new EP out on September 30 called Don’t Play With Fire, which is generally great advice (unless you’re a fire...
Watch! CHVRCHES – The Mother We Share
Hopefully your motto is the same as mine – you can never have too much music from CHVRCHES. Although the track has been on the Internet as a single for the better part of a year, we have an official...
Watch! Mumford & Sons – Hopeless Wanderer
I made the choice to skip the headlining slot by Mumford & Sons at Osheaga to see Hot Chip instead. I don’t regret this decision, as Hot Chip absolutely destroyed the side stage. However, I won’t skip out on posting...
Listen! Jeremiah Pena – Mechanical Industry
Jeremiah Pena is a video game and film composer from Utah. He has transitioned his music away from the TV screen and onto the Internet through his Bandcamp page. All of this is to say that Pena has a new...
Watch! Those Darlins – Oh God
We haven’t heard too much from indie folk and pop rockers, Those Darlins, since we saw them in London last year. We have an artful / NSFW (depending how strict your work is) video for a brand new track from...
Listen! Braids – Hossak
Following up their great releases for In Kind and Amends, Montreal’s Braids have another new track from upcoming album Flourish // Perish. The track is called Hossak. The artwork yet again features that floating, semi-creepy sci-fi disc, reminiscent of the...
Listen! Deer Tick – The Dream’s In The Ditch
Last month, we featured Rhode Island outfit Deer Tick and their rock track, er, The Rock. We have something a little slower and more mellow in the form of A MONSTER The Dream’s In The Ditch. The Dream’s In The...
Listen! Die Mason Die – You’re Lonely
Samuel Mason likes himself like I like music. He named his band Die Mason Die , while I named my blog PeteHatesMusic. Thankfully Mason isn’t dead (and that I don’t hate music), or else we wouldn’t have gotten the track,...
LIsten! Haim – The Wire
California sister trio – a sentence I will never get bored typing – are back. The BBC Sound of 2013 winners, Haim, dropped a new single on Zane Lowe’s BBC radio show, with the added bonus of making the track...
Watch! La Luz – Brainwash
Some female surf pop punk for you. The band are Seattle four-piece La Luz, and they have some female harmonies to throw at you. We have a track called Brainwash (which is what I’ve clearly done to you if you’ve...
