Dundalk punk heavyweights The Gakk storm Toales Live Venue on Sunday, 2nd November for the official launch of their brand-new album, "An Unknown Substance On A Pristine Surface" - a blistering statement from one of Ireland’s most vital underground punk bands. Available on the night on vinyl and cd.
The record, released on Punkerama Records, captures The Gakk’s trademark raw, unfiltered energy — driving rhythms, razor-edged guitar work, and socially charged lyrics that challenge, provoke, and connect. This is punk with heart, brains, and teeth. Recorded and produced independently, the album walks a tightrope between grit and melody, echoing the spirit of classic punk while speaking directly to the frustration and resilience of modern life. Every track lands like a punch, but with reflection behind the roar — proof that punk can still mean something.
Support on the night comes from The Coathanger Solution, Dublin’s noisy, angry punk rock ’n’ roll outfit known for their witty, hard-hitting lyrics and hook-heavy chaos, and Buck Eejit, Lisburn’s booze-fuelled Oi! punks who blend gallows humour and street grit in equal measure.
This will be a night of loud truth-telling and unfiltered rebellion — the sound of Irish punk at full tilt.
Tickets €10 via Eventbrite / €12 on the night. Doors 5.30pm.
