| | Grates Gravity Won't Get You High CD Grates Discography of CDs
Australians the Grates strike a pleasing balance between NUGGETS-era garage rock, lo-fi punk, and Elephant 6-style quirk-pop. Their full-length debut, GRAVITY WON'T GET YOU HIGH, delivers on each count: the songwriting is whimsical but not frivolous, and the band rocks but isn't weighted with poseur attitude. At times the Grates seem to be playing a quaintly crafted version of vintage garage punk, but their sunny, child-like exuberance wins out in the end, making this catchy, solid first effort feel more like punk rock played at a 10-year-old's birthday party. Fans of indie rock that's short on attitude and long on personality should take notice.
"Gravity Won't Get You High" is the first full-length offering from Brisbane band from down under. The group have been name checked repeatedly as the band to watch in 2006's NME, Spin, Filter and Rolling Stone. This edition includes the bonus track "Small Lives", which doesn't appear on it's US equivalent.
The Grates: Patience Hodgson (vocals); John Patterson (guitar); Alana Skyring (drums).
Additional personnel: Nick Broste, Jim Becker, Patrick Newbery .
Rolling Stone (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Science Is Golden' is bright, upbeat...setting well-textured propulsion against Hodgson's throaty, nimble singing..."
Q (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The Grates are clearly in thrall to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs....More sprightly than sinister..."
CMJ (p.5) - "Peppy vocal hooks answer guitars that shift from crisp to chaotic, while saxophone and horn arrangements keep things interesting." Gravity Won't Get You High Music Grates Gravity Won't Get You High Songs Gravity Won't Get You High Music Gravity Won't Get You High Review

When the Grails released the compendium of their Black Tar Prophecies EPs in a single-CD volume -- two had previously been issued on vinyl only, the third was released only as part of the collection -- they found themselves exploring new and varied sonic territory. They moved away from the early post-rock schematics that had landed them in a seemingly inescapable sonic furrow. Black Tar Prophecies was their strongest ...
