PeteHatesMusic last caught Mikal Cronin on a boat in Lake Ontario as part of NXNE (check out that top photo – I love the ceiling crowd surfing). Today, we bring you new music from the lad, and news of a...
Weekend Music – January 23st
The weekend is here. Time to get weird. 1. Love Taps f. Maya Killtron – Back For More Brampton’s Maya Killtron featured on some heavy tropical pop. 2. Emperor – She Said Emperor is from Halifax UK (the OTHER Halifax)…...
Watch! Hey Rosetta! – What Arrows
There’s just something about playing in a church that makes for great sound and atmosphere. Now imagine how I would feel if I were religious! Newfoundland’s Hey Rosetta! took to a church in Seldom Come By, which is actually a...
Listen! The Twilight Sad – The Airport
We have a lovely, gentle ditty by Scottish indie act The Twilight Sad. Amazingly, the song is only a B-Side. It’s called the Airport, and is found alongside I Could Give You All That You Don’t Want. The Airport has...
Watch! The Staves – Black & White
We last caught up with English sister trio The Staves when they dropped Steady. Like my pimples, they’re baaaaaaaaaack! Unlike my pimples, this is good news. The video is for lead single Black & White (should I continue the pimple-themed...
Listen! Cold, Cold Heart – Megan
We bring you more post-rock instrumental music from Cold, Cold Heart. Their latest track is called Megan, and features a cello and viola, two instruments that are clearly a flash in the pan and have no staying power in music....
Watch! The Vaccines – Handsome
English rockers The Vaccines return with a new album announcement and a new video to boot. The album shockingly doesn’t contain the band’s name in the title (like their first 2 albums), and is called English Graffiti. Our first listen...
Listen! Petite Noir – Shadows
More great stuff from Petite Noir. We heard debut track Chess, and now he follows it up with Shadows. As a bonus, we have another track with Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def). Shadows shows off his vocal range,...
Weekend Music: What we think that you think is cool
It’s the weekend! Turn these up as loud as you can and enjoy the madness. 1. Kane Law & Sui Generis (both UK) combined on this track to make the title of this post seem lame. 2. New York Transit...
Listen! Pearl and the Beard – You
Good band name? Check. Good song? Check. Based on this, you should check out Pearl and the Beard, and their track You. You features three vocalists throughout the song, all coming together for the soothing chorus harmony. If you want...
Listen! Purity Ring – begin again
More new stuff from Purity Ring. Following up on push pull is their new track begin again. The track is as straight forward a song that I’ve heard from the Canadians. No distorted and bizarrely appealing vocals, weird yet melodic...
Listen! Inventions – Springworlds
Previous PHM interviewee Mark T Smith of Explosions in the Sky teamed with Eluvium (aka Matthew Cooper) and previously formed the lovely outfit Inventions. The ambient instrumental duo produced tracks like Entity and Peaceable Child. They have bashed out another...
Watch! Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Ballad Of The Mighty I
Like Django Django, Noel Gallagher must’ve also heard it was my birthday on Monday, and dropped a new song to celebrate. Following up on In The Heat of The Moment, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are back with a video...
Listen! Django Django – First Light
Django Django was our favourite album of 2012. With my birthday being today (thanks for the presents, NO ONE), Django Django decided to give me the gift of a song. Well, me and the entire Internet. We get a funky...
Watch! Born Gold – Hyphen
Hailing from Edmonton is Cecil Frena, or as he likes to be called Born Gold (sounds powerful). Born Gold has a single series called No Sorrow, dropping tracks like how I drop my exercise plans – on a consistent basis....
