There aren’t many Australian bands in history with as much effervescence and infectiousness as The Grates. Their combination of Patience Hodgson’s extra-extravert persona and inimitable voice, John Patterson’s blistering guitar lines, and Alana Skyring’s singular drumming style, made them a stand out from the outset when they first arrived with ‘Trampoline,’ back in 2004, and has seen them go one to become one of the most celebrated indie rock outfits of their generation.
Dew Process Recordings launched in 2002 in Magandjin / Brisbane, with an exciting and diverse roster of artists. In 2008 Dew Process Publishing was formed to compliment the label, and most recently in 2025 the previously known Secret Sounds Mgmt has come in under the Dew Process banner.
Collectively we are proud to work with and represent some incredible artists including Powderfinger, Mallrat, Mumford & Sons, Spacey Jane, Tkay Maidza, Sam Fender, Bernard Fanning, Old Mervs and many more.
Our ethos has always been to build career artists with the art at the core.
