Because I listen to so much music (so many musics?), I don’t remember every single band I’ve posted. I try to follow them on Spotify or Soundcloud or Twitter to keep up with new tracks, especially if they’re smaller bands...
Happy new year to those that believe in calendars (or at least the calendar that a lot of the world chooses to follow). Below is a playlist with just a small snippet of tunes that were dropped towards the end...
Osheaga 2014 Day 1: Hot hot heat, and not the Canadian band Osheaga 2014 had 6 stages, and 3 big headliners throughout the weekend. Like the 2013 edition, this edition was also a sell out. Again like last year, the...
PHM caught London Grammar in Toronto back in October. As the band gear up for another Toronto show on April 7 (with highly touted opener Vancouver Sleep Clinic), the band have dropped another single from their debut album If You...
London Grammar announced their entrance to the music world with their stunning debut Hey Now back in December 2012. Since then, they have released a fistful of great tracks, and their debut album If You Wait. They now, over a...

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,...
Ever since we posted about London Grammar in 2012, they have continued to grow in stature. After a successful release with If You Wait, and several good videos, the band have done what every good band should do – cover...
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...
Editor’s Note: PHM special contributor Kelsi has provided the review below. Ever since we first featured London Grammar back in December 2012, they have been on an upward path to stardom. The English trio mysteriously appeared and started dropping gems...
Before you take off your pants for the long weekend, let us give you some tunes for your road trip / cottage / staycation. That’s right – it’s time for the PeteHatesMusic Monthly Mix, bringing you the best tunes we...
If it feels like we blog about London Grammar a lot, it’s because we do. The band are filling our ears with tracks such as Hey Now, Metal & Dust, Wasting My Young Years, and Strong as they gear up...
