In a standout session at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, Brooklyn-based band Geese mesmerized fans with a thrilling cover of the New Radicals' iconic 90s hit 'You Get What You Give'. During the performance, the band also treated listeners to renditions of '100 Horses' and 'Cobra', both fresh tracks from their latest album, Getting Killed.

The band, known for their eclectic style and dynamic performances, shared their third studio album in September, generating buzz among fans and critics alike. Following the album's release, Geese made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and unveiled a music video for 'Au Pays du Cocaine'. The group is currently touring North America, promoting Getting Killed and continuing to build their growing fanbase.
Geese's reinterpretation of 'You Get What You Give' drew accolades from New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander, who couldn't contain his admiration. 'Geese must truly be the coolest new band since The White Stripes,' Alexander remarked, reflecting on his surprise at receiving numerous messages about their BBC performance. 'By the end of the first chorus of their instant classic “Taxes”, I realized they're not just the coolest band in decades...they’re one of the best.'
Alexander went on to praise Geese not only for their musical prowess but also for the lyrical depth and cultural relevance of their work. 'After Tuesday night’s Billionaire kleptocracy rebuking Democratic U.S. election sweep, to awaken to dozens of sweetly absurdist texts about Geese performing live on the BBC…clearly there’s a change for good in the air,' he shared, expressing hope and enthusiasm for a shift in the cultural landscape.
As the band continues its ascent in the music industry, fans eagerly anticipate what's next from Geese. Whether through live performances or studio recordings, their ability to capture the zeitgeist of contemporary music while paying homage to past influences is undeniable.
For those interested in exploring more of Geese's work, Cameron Winter's debut solo album Heavy Metal has been met with positive reviews, further establishing the artistic depth and versatility of this emerging band.
Throughout their tour, Geese remains committed to bringing new levels of energy and innovation to their performances, cementing their status as a band to watch in the coming years. With each new release and appearance, they continue to redefine what it means to be a modern rock band, blending genres and influences into something entirely their own.
