We continue to clear out our long list of musical bookmarks here at PeteHatesMusic. This weekend, we present you with Mona & Maria on our Weekend Catch Up segment. Mona Andersen and Maria Knudsen are the duo known as Mona...
Deer Tick are a Rhode Island rock band that we’ve featured a few times (The Rock and The Dream’s In The Ditch). They’re having a competition to win signed CDs, limited edition blue vinyl, concert tickets and such. How does...
We have another track from the excellent London Grammar debut album, If You Wait. The track is Nightcall, which is a cover of French producer Kavinsky’s track. The cover is almost unrecognizable, with the booming vocals of Hannah Reid taking...
Banks recently opened for The Weeknd on tour. I guess she’s repaying the favour or being blackmailed, as she has cover his track What You Need. The song was recorded for Zane Lowe for BBC Radio 1. If you didn’t...
Oasis were renowned partially for having squabbling, alcoholic brothers but also because they had a not one but two people who could belt out a great tune for the band. Metric are known as a powerful force for the talents...
We have something out of Brisbane, Australia for you. Foxsmith are an all-girl band offering up some indie pop for you. They have a song called Wake Up, which is sadly neither an Arcade Fire cover nor a Rage Against...
We’ve heard the audio for the motor mouthed Eminem song Rap God. Now we get a retro, Max Headroom-esque video from the Detroit rapper. The singles keep flowing from Em’s new album, following Berzerk, Survival, and Monster. Eminem is also...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic I am man enough to admit that I like the 1998 Nickelback album The State. Oh man, that felt good to get off of my chest, but I am fearing the repercussions of saying that and being an...
We’ve featured a few tracks from Birmingham’s Troumaca in the past, namely Lady Colour and Layou. Now you can download another good track of theirs, courtesy of Annie Mac. The track is called The Sun, which is something England (and...
Here’s a track from the awesomely named Vancouver Sleep Clinic. The gig posters around town must lead to some interesting and sleep-deprived attendees. Vancouver Sleep Clinic is Tim Bettinson out of Australia, with an EP on the way soon. For...
TC is a drum & Bass producer from the heartland of the genre – Bristol UK. He’s arguably on the top of the pile for D&B producers at the moment, which means that if he releases something new, it’s worth...
The touring behemoth that are Muse put on one hell of a live show – definitely top 5 in my very big books. They have a new video from their Live At Rome Olympic Stadium concert movie. The film was...
Last night Cults, a band literally with a cult-following (sorry, had to be done), played the Toronto leg of their Static album tour. Their first album was our favourite album of 2011, while you’ll have to wait until next month...
Check out this excitingly funky collaboration between UK producer Odjbox and Queens legend Nas. This track should be popular among both the ‘all I need is a huge bassline’ and the ‘why does all this new hip hop sound like techno?’ crowds.
Death Vessel would be an awesome nickname for my old car. Instead, it’s the name of Joel Thibodeau’s musical endeavours. In February, we will get a long awaited follow up album, an 8-song album called Island Intervals. With new album...
