Following up their 10 track demo are Spring King. The band had their beginnings in Wilmslow, England, which I only mention because I’ve been to Wilmslow, as it’s 20 minutes from my Auntie and Uncle’s house. The band have an...
The highlight of my day to this moment was going to the dentist, and that is just pathetic. Thankfully, there’s a new Basia Bulat song to improve both my day and my sad social status. The track is another one...
Some indie rock from Sweden – is there anything Sweden can’t do? The band are called Wayflower, and they have a straight forward and catchy tune called Holding On. The track has soaring backing vocals, and a nice build towards...
I’m sure readers of PeteHatesMusic are wondering “where is all the Austrian psychedelic rock on this crappy site?!” Well, your wishes (which I might’ve dreamt about because I ate a lamb roti before bed) are granted. Meet Juleah (aka Julia...
Some eclectic production from an Oxford fourpiece. The band are Pixel Fix, and they have a new track called Fall. Following in the Oxford footsteps by the likes of Radiohead and Foals, Pixel Fix display a range of intelligence to...
Shy Nature might describe my awkward years in university high school, but it is also the name of a fine band from London. The band released a self-titled EP back in September 2013. They have a new single out in...
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 New Years Eve which means if I’ve cultivated my audience properly, you should all be drunk while reading this. I’m furiously clearing out my music bookmarks of great tracks so that I can start fresh in 2014. I’m doing...
You may have noticed that we slyly changed our Weekend Catch Up segment to Weekday Catch Up for today. That’s because I’m trying to clear out my bookmarks before regular posting resumes on January 6. As such, you’re going to...
They’re baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Jack White, and of course Alison Mosshart of the Kills, Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita and the Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence are the Dead Weather, and they have a brand spanking new track. It’s called Open Up...
Jim James has a unique quality about his voice that makes his band, My Morning Jacket, appeal to so many people. It’s this uniqueness to his voice that makes this Bob Marley cover something a little more than your average...
The Darcys have been everywhere in 2013. Besides playing schools across Ontario (including the former high school of Rich and I), the band have dropped excellent song after song, including a video for Muzzle Blast, and tracks The River and...
We have a nice little track for you from an English duo called Fé. I thought a one syllable word would be right up my alley, but I have no idea how to pronounce their band name. My shortcomings aside,...
U2 – ever heard of them? They did a new song for the Nelson Mandela biopic, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. We already heard a snippet, then the track sort of leaked. Well, now we have the official lyric video...
Arcade Fire launched Reflektor tour dates with the caveat that there’s a formal or costume dress code. Everyone (unfairly) lost their shit, to the point where the band casually noted that it won’t be enforced. To celebrate (or to keep...
