We are non-apologetic Alt-J fans here at PeteHatesMusic. We caught them a couple of times in 2013 (at Osheaga, and at Sound Academy), and happened to catch them before they released their Mercury Prize winning debut, when they played for...
Eclectic folk / sea shanty / indie pop band The Decemberists are back. Singer Colin Meloy was busking in the streets of Brooklyn last week to announce a new album from the band, which is called What a Terrible World,...
If you want some good advice, you’ve most definitely come to the wrong place. Unless the good advice you want is some kind of meta joke, and there’s a song called Good Advice – WHICH THERE TOTALLY IS. Bluesy rock...
Although I like the song name Buzzkill(er), they should’ve gone that extra mile and named it Buzz Killington. Bigger Buzzkill Than Buzz Killington Alison Mosshart, Jack White, Dean Fertita, and Jack Lawrence are the Dead Weather. They have a new...
Two tracks for you to check out from the band Forever Cult. Yup, it’s some double A-side action for you, which is not as kinky as it might sound. The Huddersfield, UK band just played Leeds and Reading festivals in...
More post-rock instrumental music by a group that excels at it. The band are MONO from Japan, and they’ve already dropped Where We Begin. If you recall, they are releasing TWO ALBUMS on the same day. A darker one, and...
Get to know a five-piece dream pop band from Chicago. They are called American Wolf, and I can already see the headlines when they play in Paris. They have a new album called My Main Sport (mine is napping) and...
It’s Thanksgiving today in Canada. Besides eating disgusting amounts of turkey, I’m gobbling up all of the random, great music that has dropped today. One particular surprise I am exciting about is a new album from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying...
It’s a gloomy day in Toronto, so we’ll stick to the mood Mother Nature gave us, and deliver you some gloomy death pop from Ireland. The band is the previously featured Irish act, The Vincent(s). The track Throne Song has...
Scottish post-rock machine Mogwai are back. Well, sort of. They have some leftover tunes (and remixes) from their Rave Tape sessions and have bundled them into an EP called Music Industry 3. Fitness Industry 1. I’m curious what game the...
Happy October. Here are # tracks from this week that deserve being played loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss. (editor’s note: do not play loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss). 1. Traumer is from Paris. This reminds me...
Cloud Nothings have a new video off of recently released Here And Nowhere Else. Now, I can’t claim you can watch the video for Now Hear In “here and nowhere else”, but you can at least watch it here. Wake...
In case you missed it, Danish indie rockers The Raveonettes dropped a surprise album called Pe’ahi a few months ago. Now that the surprise is over, the band figured it is time to clean up release some videos. The video...
NYC indie rockers Interpol are back with a new video. The video is directed by Interpol singer (and now director) Paul Banks. The track is off of El Pintor, and is called Twice as Hard, which describes how I find...
Sister act 2:54 (not to be confused with Sister Act, the amazing Whoopi Goldberg movies) are back with some new music, and not a minute too late. They release a new album on November 11, and it’s called The Other...
