Aw Yeah

I have this love and hate relationship with The Grates.

Why?

Gosh I'm glad you asked! A good friend of mine is a huge movie buff and it seemed like after a while everyone he spoke to was absolutely in love with the movie 'Baseketball'. In very Anchorman / Talledega Nights fashion, entire weekends were devoted to the art of quoting lines from 'Basketball'. My good friend had not seen the movie yet and the insane amount of hype scarred him so much that to this day he has not seen the beautiful irrelevance that is Baseketball. Some may say he isn't missing much... those people stop reading now and shoot yourself or go to the library.

Anyways, so that was me with the Grates, everyone telling me the amazing sounds I was missing out on. When Ben Lee said at some festival I was drunk at "this is the year of the Grates" well then I just didn't want to know them. I fought it for a while but then I bit the bullet and yes science was truely golden!

So when the new album finally rolled around, I was in the same state of cynicism. I hate to say that I love how they raised the bar and fill clips like "Aw Yeah" on further impress me. It's such a filthy rock your socks type song infused with all those required Grates ingredients. As always the manner in which Patience struts around with her posse is more bad ass than anything Richard Ashcroft could muster.

Bonus points go to the not so choreographed dance toward the end of the clip.
