Sometimes all you need in life is a pretty girl dancing around an animated fishtank singing kickass new wave music, wouldn't you say? Obviously you might need other things too, like batteries for your pacemaker or regular access to your brain pills, but we'll just concentrate on the pretty girl thing for now if that's OK.

The Grates are the antidote to everything that's wrong with your life at the moment. The Grates are from Australia, so you don't need to give yourself a panic attack by thinking Jet are the best Australian band any more. The Grates are sunny, so you can forget that it gets dark at 4pm at this time of year when you hear their music. The Grates have given you Science Is Golden, a juicy fat slice up upbeat new wave-ish music that sounds like OK Go would if they had the tunes to back up their elaborate running machine music videos. And – best of all – The Grates Science Is Golden video shows The Grates killing kittens with rainbow-coloured laser beams that shoot out of their fingers; something that we've all wanted to do at one point or another. You should watch The Grates Science Is Golden video right now – it's Grate!*
