Geronimo

Geronimo! is a Chicago punk/indie/grunge band comprised of Kelly Johnson (vocals/guitars), Ben Grigg (keys/background vocals), and Matt Schwerin (drums). The band’s self-released debut Fuzzy Dreams was released in 2010 and they have been steadily releasing some of the Midwestern underground’s best albums and EPs ever since. Geronimo! made their Exploding In Sound Records debut last year with the crushing “Buzz Yr Girlfriend Vol. 3 – The Metal David Byrne” cassette/digital EP.

Their 3rd LP, “Cheap Trick” will be released on limited edition aqua blue (150 copies) and standard black vinyl (350 copies) on May 13th via Exploding In Sound Records (Krill, Porches., Palehound). “Cheap Trick” marks the next phase for Geronimo! recording in a proper studio for the first time, and the results are immediately apparent throughout the triumphant new album. The first single of the album (Mr. President / #7) was premiered on Stereogum, who said it “whips jackknifing guitar riffs, screamed-then-plainspoken vocals, and a constant near-motorik drum blast into a froth equal parts psychedelic and psychotic. It’s a hell of a lot of fun...”

"For anyone who loved the worked-up, man-on-fire howl and scrape of bands like Mclusky and early Jesus Lizard, Geronimo! is here to win your black heart..." - Wondering Sound

"“Mr. President,” the first single off the upcoming “Cheap Trick” LP, is something like 123 seconds of sonic explosion, riff after riff flying over metalesque guitar chugging and under vocals oscillating between Thermals-style nonchalance and Pixies-style screams...." - Death and Taxes
