FEATURED ARTIST: THE GRATES
Official Website
Myspace

Everybody in the world should know by now who The Grates are. If you dont, well you dont have a clue what your missing out on here. This Brisbane trio (made up of the fantastic vocals of Patience, Guitaring of John, and of course the drumming of Alana) have made quite a name for themselves in the last year or so, having toured with The Go! Team across Australia and the UK, and just about to start a tour with We Are Scientists, and also putting on some fantastic shows earlier this year at the Big Day Out Festivals across Australia. In the UK (and I think everywhere else in the world) they have just released their first EP "The Ouch. The Touch", which is fantastic, some really raw and unbelievable stuff! The EP has been out in Australia for about a year now, and still continues to impress everyone. The band has recently put the final touched to their first album titled "Gravity Wont Get You High" and have also just released the first single "19 20 20" which is bound to be a hit. For you today i have their EP up for download, enjoy everyone and dont be afraid to leave a comment.

Reviews: "A happily scattered and free-spirited trio playing catchy lo-fi rock pop stamped with Patience's wonderfully unhinged vocals." Bronwyn Thompson, Rolling Stone

"7/10. Excellent stuff!" Blunt Magazine

MP3's: Message / Sukkafish / Wash Me / Trampoline
