Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic “New Year’s Resolution for 2018: Blog at least twice a month”. Mission unaccomplished! I started off well, and listened to a lot of music (60000+ minutes according to Spotify), but this didn’t translate to playlists that I published....
I guess since the sun or whoever decides leap years decided not to have one this year, I need to quickly crank out a playlist to meet my end of February deadline. Luckily, good music seems to fall out of...
Twitter: @PeteHatesMusic New Year’s Resolution for 2018: Blog at least twice a month. Life gets busy, and travelling for the past 2 months has meant 0 blog posts (ignore the months before that please…). I’ll make it up to you...
It’s been awhile, and I’m not quoting the ‘great’ 90s band Staind. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and since we haven’t given you a playlist of late, you get a monster playlist. This playlist, of course, has indie bands...
As I put away my rubber rain boots and pull out my summer dresses, I’m reminded that I am a man who doesn’t wear dresses, and that I should also probably make a new playlist. We see the return of...
We here at PeteHatesMusic are lucky enough to have the talented Martin Bazyl from Martin Bazyl Photography shooting most of the shows we attend. He’s been there for several CMW and NXNE festivals, as well as weekend benders like Field...
Majical Cloudz’s singer Devon Welsh’s dad might’ve starred in Twin Peaks, but there is no connection to the band Twin Peaks. Then why lead off with such a useless sentence? The Chicago band are gearing up for album numero 2...
The venue was Massey Hall. The band was The National, playing a run of 3 straight nights in Toronto. The result was a very enjoyable Thursday night – better than my usual ‘eat a bag of Doritos and then search...
We here at PHM love both Daughter and The National. We interviewed Daughter in May of last year, and saw them in Toronto and Montreal. We also caught The National at NXNE (and many other pre-PHM gigs). Last night, we...
As you may be aware (especially if you read our Kurt Cobain article), Kurt Cobain died 20 years ago on Saturday. Many musicians took to social media to pay their tributes. Other acts decided to do a musical tribute to...
On Valentine’s Day, which was Friday if you forgot and have had a grumpy partner for the past few days, The National released their latest video from their recent album Trouble Will Find Me. The track is called I Need...
Another new video from Toronto electro-pop band Austra. Being named one of PeteHatesMusic’s Top Albums of 2013 wasn’t enough – the band haven’t given up, and are still releasing new videos. The one below is for single Hurt Me Now....
We have another song from Ottawa singer songwriter Kalle Mattson. We featured his stunning track, Darkness, and now we have An American Dream, which is the lead track on forthcoming album Someday, The Moon Will Be Gold. The horn-filled track...
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...
Canadian indie rock outfit Paper Lions have a new video for their track Pull Me In, which is what no one said to Jaws, ever. The track follows the release of the great track, My Friend. For the video, the...
