Watch! Purity Ring – push pull
Purity Ring are helping close out 2012 by dropping a new tune. It is called push pull, showing the band truly do not care about caPiTaL letters. The track is similar to efforts off of 2012’s Shrines, in that it...

Watch! The Decemberists – Lake Song
More new stuff from The Decemberists! The Colin Meloy-led outfit are following up Make You Better with a lyric video (which actually shows the band playing, and would pass for a proper video) for Lake Song. The track is a...
Listen! Oh Wonder – All We Do
A duo from London called Oh Wonder emailed me to let me know they are dropping songs at the start of every month leading up to their September debut album. It might have taken 1 million total listens, but I’ve...
Watch! Petite Noir – Chess
Some impressive new stuff by Domino signee Petite Noir. While the video has an intentionally dated feel (right??), the song is anything but. Petite Noir is from Cape Town, South Africa (one of the most beautiful cities I have ever...
Listen! Cape Cub – Lantern
I received an email from an artist from the North East of England. He goes by the name Cape Cub, which I really hope is his real name (assuming I ignore the “Chad” he closed the email with). Cape Cub...
Watch! Aquilo – I Gave It All
Spoiler alert: Aquilo’s song I Gave It All will make the Top Songs of 2014 list next month. The English duo have a heartbreaking song with an outstanding chorus. They now have a wonderful video full of heartbreak, too. The...
Listen! Sisters – Buzzard
We have some catchy indie pop from a duo from Seattle. They are called Sisters, although due to the male member of the band, I don’t think the bandmates themselves are sisters. OR ARE THEY?! The band’s debut EP is...
Watch! She & Him – Stay Awhile
If Zooey Deschanel asks you to stay awhile, you don’t move at all – your dreams have come true! Unfortunately, she is merely singing these words as part of her gig in She & Him with M. Ward. She &...
Listen! Vaults – Mend This Love

Listen! Clanch – Autumn
It’s Monday (unless you’re from the future, when we convert to some bizzaro new system). If you’re in need of a musical pick me up, then you’ve come to the right place. We have some lovely synth, a nice backing...
Listen! Mt. Wolf – Red
Mt. Wolf is one of those rare bands that exists in my musical history. I randomly saw them play one of their first ever shows, in London, England. They absolutely blew in me away. They started to get some coverage...
Listen! Misun – Superstitions (whole album)
We’ve posted about Misun more than enough times. It’s an easy task, when the aggressive, eclectic indie pop band pump out great tracks. We recently posted the title track to the new album, Superstitions. Now you can stream the whole...
Listen! NZCA Lines – New Atmosphere
We discovered, and were impressed with, NZCA Lines at the Camden Crawl back in 2012. We have a new track that we can share with you (which is a legitimate release, and was not released under duress for the purposes...
Listen! Vaults – Poison
The new Vaults EP has 4 tracks on it, and the band have now released a second one for our listening pleasure. Following up the lovely Vultures is a track called Poison. More standout vocals from the English trio, delivered...
Listen to the PeteHatesMusic Monthly Mix – October 2014
Not only have I been overdosing on Halloween candy, but my sloth-like state has delayed me in posting the Monthly Mix from October. If only I could reach the keyboard over my belly…. You know the drill – we give...
