And so the full Grates album is out.

It's fantastic. I have no better way to describe my feelings.

It clocks in at 30:33 in total, and there's not a single moment where it lets up, every song has that brute energy you get from just going in and recording songs you've just written and making it as raw as you can yet still sound professional.

Well worth the time, Ive spun it 4 times since its midnight launch last night and I keep wanting to go back. In-fact, I'm gonna spin it again.

Favorite tracks: Friends With Scum (just so brutal sounding, definitely the hardest I've ever heard from this band) and I Wish I Was Alone (which apparently got it's idea from an argument between John and Page, which is pretty neat).

Finally, a good Australian album for 2014.
