With dark, almost droning vocals and a bass line mixed with sampled drums, Phoebe Paradise and Jasmine Dunn echoed serious '80s vibes on stage.

Back at it in their hometown, The Grates played to a full house at The Triffid Friday night (7 August).

That wasn’t the case for The Grates tonight as the sold out sign was hung out the front of the Oxford Art Factory.
