Just a quick word about this new aussie band from Perth which recently released a fantastic demo tape on Helta Skelta Records. Gaffer features current or ex- members of Cold Meat, Die, Helta Skelta (check them out), Nerve Quakes and others...

From the first guitar notes of Hang, Gaffer immediatly brings us back to the late 70s in the UK... the tories are slowly destroying the lives of the working class, the youth is angry and desperate, the beer is cheap and the weather is shit...
The guitar and the atmosphere instantly made me thought of Crisis but Gaffer, despite its clear nostlagia/vintage vibe for this era, is more than another copycat post punk band.
Their label compares them to Black Easter and to the Viletones and well yes there is clearly this 80s buzzsaw guitar thing but more recently I'm thinking of the two amazing Texan bands Slimy Member and Institute.
Anyway Gaffer delivers a great demo which will definitly be in a lot of this year tops and I can't wait to hear more!
