The Grates
15 March 2006 :: posted by Travis
The Grates quietly released the first single off their debut album, Gravity Won’t Get You High.
But don’t get too excited yet.
“19-20-20″ is currently only available from iTunes in Australia. “19-20-20″ follows closely to the post-pop-punk tracks fans are used to from their much celebrated ep, The Ouch. The Touch.
For those of us not lucky enough to be in Australia, the colorful and playful video for “19-20-20″ is on YouTube.

Yeah, I got their song called “Sukkafish” from a sampler, sounds like Yeah Yeah Yeahs doing some Tegan & Sara tunes..
