PHM favourite CHVRCHES (one of the top albums of 2013, we interviewed them, you know the drill) recently played the Billboard Women in Music 2013 evening. Led by singer Lauren Mayberry, the band played an excellent cover of the Janelle...
More stuff from the youngin’ from the UK known as King Krule. You’ve seen videos from the 19 year old, such as Easy Easy, Octopus, and Rock Bottom. His latest cut from 6 Feet Beneath the Moon is A Lizard...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic I’ve listened to many, many albums this year. Although I trust my ear, it’s always interesting to see what critics are saying about certain albums, and even the pre-judging going on based on past reputation (hello Arcade Fire...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic We’re nearing the end of our Best Of 2013 week. We’ve now arrived at one of the most anticipated categories – the PeteHatesMusic Top Songs of 2013. After keeping a list all year, both Rich and I have...
PeteHatesMusic had many interesting interviews this year – unfortunately none of the bands we talked to felt this way. After painfully revisting these interviews, we’ve highlighted the best bits. Check out last year’s best quotes, too. Below are some of...
We here at PeteHatesMusic, along with the very talented photographer Martin Bazyl, saw a lot of shows this year. From showcases like Canadian Music Week and NXNE, to one-off shows by indie acts like Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines, and CHVRCHES,...
Here is a radical remix of the smash hit Lies by CHVRCHES. The thumping electro pop single is remixed by UK producer Tourist. However, thumping electro pop is not how you’d describe the touch applied by piano. It’s now a...
Glasgow’s CHVRCHES continue to drop synth pop gems from their debut album The Bones Of What You Believe. We’ve seen videos for the outstanding The Mother We Share plus Gun, and heard a slew of songs from them (in addition...
I have very little interest in the Twilight series and the Hunger Games series – except for their official soundtracks. When you rope in Thom Yorke like I do in my dreams Twilight did, you start to pay attention. The...
Hopefully your motto is the same as mine – you can never have too much music from CHVRCHES. Although the track has been on the Internet as a single for the better part of a year, we have an official...
Atoms for Peace wrapped up three days at the Roundhouse in Camden, London. They used the music streaming app Soundhalo to allow fans to purchase audio and video of their performance for one of the nights in hopes that they...
Last year, the winner of BBC’s Sound of 2013 poll was California trio HAIM. The British poll attempts to name the biggest new talents emerging in music. Scottish synth poppers CHVRCHES landed in 5th. It was somewhat fitting when CHVRCHES...
Almost Guaranteed to Be Amazing – David Lynch to Direct New Nine Inch Nails Video Way back in 1997, back when I was first learning about girls and beer (two things I love to study to this day), Nine Inch...
It only took a day, but we have another post about CHVRCHES. We just saw them in Toronto on Wednesday night. Weirdly, I ran into singer Lauren Mayberry last night on Queen St West right across from the Rivoli, where...
I think PeteHatesMusic has far exceeded its quota for CHVRCHES content for 2013. We covered their first ever Canadian show back in March (and gave them a healthy 9/10 review). We then interviewed Lauren, Martin, and Iain the next day....
