CD ReviewsGrate Stuff Tankery | New Orleans | 09/04/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Minimal Power pop, a great lead singer, catchy, abrasive songs and this is as good as it gets so far this year. Without the slickness of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or the pretention, the Grates power their way through 14 songs with a Fountain of Wayne style pop sonic intensity and a bitter sweetness tinged with sexy we often hear in LA born girl lead bands. The Grates do it better however. This album rocks." Aaa alexander laurence | Los Angeles, CA | 11/28/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I caught this band at the recent Noise Pop festival in San Francisco. They opened for the Dirtbombs and they were one of the surprises of that whole week. The Grates are a band from Australia. They have been compared to Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They are probably more like some girl groups from the Pacific Northwest. They start out with the ballad "I Won't Survive." This band has a sense of humor. "Lies" is more like the energetic crazy style. "19 20 20" and "Howl" are pure punk garage rock. This is them at their best. One of the best songs is "Silence Is Golden." Another ballad is "Nothing Sir" and it sounds a little like Regina Spektor. I also like "Seek Me" a lot. There are a lot of songs on this album, but it seems brief. The Grates are a new band that has promise. I look forward on their next tour." Offbeat quirky lyrics, crunchy guitars... Awesome Aussies! Bond... James Bond | Denver, CO | 06/05/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love this CD, which was my introduction to the Grates. I would love to see them live. I love the energy, spunk, and attitude in the lyrics and bratty pouty singing. I hear resemblances to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Revillos/Rezillos, Magnapop, The Muffs, some others I can't quite put a finger on... along with their own unique fingerprint. After you hear all of their songs, check out their Web site at thegrates.com, which is a real hoot and has the same quirkiness as their songs. They even have a Grates video game on their site, which plays tunes from their songs as bleepy 1970s-styled Atari video arcade sound effects; you navigate through a maze while collecting prizes like a vintage Pac-Man game."
