Geese

There’s something gloriously unhinged about Geese. A band born in a Brooklyn basement, forged in the schoolyard and raised on chaos. With a sound that mutates from post-punk spikiness to psychedelic swirl in the blink of a breakdown, they don’t just wear their influences — they chew them up and spit them out in Technicolor.

Debut album Projector announced them as prodigies; 18-year-olds playing like veterans with a death wish. But it was 2023’s 3D Country that really lit the fuse — a shape-shifting, yeehaw-tinged mind-melter that proved Geese weren’t just here to play gigs, they were here to pull the whole scene apart and rebuild it in their image. Frontman Cameron Winter croons, cries and contorts through warped Americana and deranged funk, while the band lurches and locks like a machine possessed.
