Listen! The Swiss – Connect
I didn’t get around to this one when I had originally intended to. We have a track by an Australian duo called The Swiss (and not The Aussie?). They have a new EP called Elouisa, which just came out this...

Watch! Fuck Buttons – The Red Wing
Something new from Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite band, Fuck Buttons. I’m only noting that since their tune kicked off the Summer Olympic Games ceremonies in London in which she featured, so she clearly handpicked them, right? I saw Fuck Buttons...
Watch! Ghost Loft – So High (NSFW)
Still catching up on some things that happening during NXNE. Apparently the music world keeps going while us folks in Toronto are in our fun little NXNE bubbles. We have something out of Los Angeles by Ghost Loft, which is...
Watch! Swim Deep – King City
Swim Deep are gearing up for their debut album release, Where The Heaven Are We. Besides doing interviews with PeteHatesMusic, the Birmingham band are making some music videos. Oddly, they are making videos for songs that already have music videos....
Listen! Austra – Hurt Me Now
Austra’s debut album was one of our favourite albums from 2011. Austra’s follow up album, Olympia, is out now. Will it meet my lofty expectations, or let me down like this ironless shirt that I always have to iron? We...
Watch! Foals – Bad Habit
Yet another video from Oxford’s Foals, and another one that is not 100% suitable for the office environment. However, if you work in a field – go nuts. The track is called Bad Habit, which is thankfully not a cover...
Listen! The Mowgli’s – Say It, Just Say It
We have something new from the large group known as The Mowgli’s. The band have a new song called Say It, Just Say It, off of debut album Waiting for the Dawn, which is what those afraid of vampires are...
Watch! CHVRCHES – Gun (plus album announcement)
It only took a day, but we have another post about CHVRCHES. We just saw them in Toronto on Wednesday night. Weirdly, I ran into singer Lauren Mayberry last night on Queen St West right across from the Rivoli, where...
Watch! The Zolas – Strange Girl
We last heard from the Zolas when we saw them play a Canadian Music Week show in Toronto back in March. The band are still making noise with their 2012 release, Ancient Mars, and now have a new video for...
Watch! FEMME – Educated
It looks like Laura Bettinson hasn’t quite mastered the diffcult art of how to eat sprinkled donuts. In a somewhat sensual video that turns out to be a little awkward when people ask you what the heck you’re watching, FEMME...
Watch! Grouplove – Ways To Go
Los Angeles’ Grouplove released this video, with the assistance of our supreme leader. All hail The Supreme Leader. Ways To Go is the first ‘single’ (do bands still release singles?) from an upcoming album Spreading Rumours – which will be officially...
Watch! Poliça – Tiff (featuring Justin Vernon)
Earlier this year, we posted the collaboration between Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon with Poliça, known for their cool little hook on the letter c in their band name. Fortunately their music is cooler than the ç, and we heard the...
Watch! Blue Hawaii – Reaction II
Blue Hawaii have a new video for a track off of Untogether, which should’ve been called higgledy-piggledy if you ask me. The track is called Reaction II and is worth your time. The Montreal duo will be hitting up NXNE...
Listen! GO/NO-GO – Desperate Romantics
Here is something new out of Sydney, Australia. The band are a 5-piece made up of koala bears and kangaroos called GO/NO-GO and are about to drop a new album called Holding Pattern. The track is a dance rock song...
Watch! MØ – Waste of Time
If you follow PeteHatesMusic at all, you’ll know we really dig MØ and her track Waste of Time. Heck, we even featured it on our May Monthly Mix (which you can still listen to). We now have some visuals to...
