Local Feature: Gaffer’s Dead End Beat channels the fire and fury 1980s UK punk

This week’s local feature release comes from Gaffer, a four-piece delivering an immediate and arresting take on 70s and 80s punk and post-punk on their debut long player Dead End Beat.

Out via Helta Skelta Records, it’s a blistering, righteously angsty rock ‘n’ roll record that doesn’t overcomplicate things — raw, rough and sticking it right up the establishment.

Katie, Chris and Kyle from the band join Matt and Jxnior on Drivetime to chat bout the band’s formation, their new record and more.
