Bio
Geronimo! is a touring rock group from Rockford, IL.
“These three refugees from Rockford, Illinois — ranked among the ten worst cities in America by no less of an authority than Money magazine — mix a pop-punker’s obsession with melody (and reedy vocals) with heavy dynamics (these boys likes to play it LOUD). Their penchant for fuzz ‘n’ thump (dig “Kicked Out the Fear” on their Myspace thingy) is indicative they listened to the same Tull and Sabbath platters from the ’70s as Soundgarden did, but their thrusting forward motion on “Design Yourself a Heart,” which features a guitar hook that might well have been cribbed from the mighty Me-Thinks’ “Speedhair,” sounds for all the world like the Violent Femmes on crank after they stole Cobain’s distortion pedals.”
