The story behind it? While driving to Denver, the band got a flat tyre. Instead of letting it be a roadblock, they transformed it into an opportunity to give back. The tyre was auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition. Talk about turning a mishap into a meaningful moment!

This song has long been an underground favorite among their fans, and hearing it live was a nostalgic trip back to their roots.

Critical Acclaim for ‘Getting Killed’

Their latest album, Getting Killed (2025), has critics raving. One glowing five-star review highlights the band’s ability to juggle intricate musical changes without losing control—balancing complexity with a free-spirited energy that demands attention.

“There’s so much going on in this album that it feels like it would have been easy for the five-piece to lose sight of the bigger picture… yet for all its abrupt shifts and intricate details, Getting Killed somehow doesn’t ever feel like there’s too much at play or like its creators aren’t in complete control. Instead, this is a band living up to their reputation as exhilaratingly free-spirited.”

This review sums up why Geese has such a devoted following. Their music isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a dynamic experience, bursting with raw vitality and artistic vision.
