Feeling the January blues? Don’t worry! The Rafters are here to shake things up!
Their newest single, ‘Gimmick’, is here and ready to pull you out of your post-holiday slump and throw you headfirst into a world of musical chaos and untamed punk energy.
The East Lancashire band has kicked off 2025 with a bang, making it crystal clear they’re back with their foot slammed on the gas pedal, and after hearing ‘Gimmick’, it’s safe to say there’s no slowing them down.
Beginning their journey in 2019, The Rafters quickly took Blackburn by storm with the release of their debut self-titled EP, followed by a packed-out debut gig that cemented their arrival on the local music scene. Since then, the band has gone from strength to strength, releasing nine singles and an extended cut of 'What's It All About?' since their formation that showcase their evolving sound and undeniable energy.
From start to finish, this track is electrifying, brimming with biting social commentary and infectious punk energy. Frontman Nat Griff delivers every lyric with a fiery passion, providing a cutting yet anthemic critique of modern-day Britain.
Stand-out lyrics, "Life's just a gimmick, from the moment that you wake" and "You're just a pawn, kick to you break," will undoubtedly embed themselves into your mind. Whether you chant them during their set or hear them echo in your head at 3 a.m., they will undoubtedly leave an impression, and rightly so.
With its blistering riffs and driving rhythm, this track will surely energise listeners and prepare them to take on the world. You can stream their latest track on Spotify now.
