    Geronimo! Debut “They Put A Hook Inside of Me” via VICE

    By Dom VigilMarch 12, 2015


    Geronimo! have been Chicago’s “best kept secret” for far too long. Over the past seven years the band have released a slew of exceptional full lengths and EPs, continuing to expand and impress with each subsequent record. In May of 2014 the band released their own underground masterpiece, Cheap Trick (named for their shared hometown of Rockford, IL with the legendary glam rockers), an album that took Geronimo! to new heights, alternating between drifting experimental noise pop and earth crushing post-punk that kept listeners on their toes.

    Last September Geronimo! announced that they’d be breaking up, but not before one last tour, which they embarked on last Fall with Chicago pals Meat Wave. The band issued the following statement regarding their decision to call it quits,

    “Hello friends. After close to 7 years of performing together as Geronimo! we have decided to put the band to rest. It is a bittersweet decision but after 220 shows, 57 cities, 26 states, 7 tours, 5 EPs, 3 LPs, 2 vans and 1 kitten we have an end in sight. We’ve met amazing people along the way and gotten to play with incredible, inspiring bands. We will be performing some last shows and have one final tour planned in October. After that we will play one last show in Chicago to be determined sometime in the fall/winter. We will be recording one last EP that will be available digitally and will have some sort of physical representation of said recording at our final show. Thanks to everyone that made the band possible, we’ve truly learned that you can’t do-it-yourself without the support and love of others. It’s been a blast.”

    The time for a farewell is now. Geronimo! are set to release their final recordings, Buzz Yr Girlfriend: Vol. 4 – Why Did You Leave Me?, a set of three songs determined to tear the remaining paint from the walls over aggressive bursts of shredding guitars, stampeding rhythms, and dynamic shifts. Geronimo!’s time together is rapidly coming to a close, but they’re not going out without a fight. Buzz Yr Girlfriend: Vol. 4 – Why Did You Leave Me?will be out March 31st via Exploding In Sound Records (Pile, Krill, Ovlov).
