"This tour-and autumn of 2025 in general-saw Geese breach indie darling containment, breaking through to the mainstream in a way that indie rock bands rarely do in the 2020s. They'd already generated respectable buzz with their first two studio albums, 2021's Projector and 2023's 3D Country, but from the beginning of the rollout for the Kenneth Blume-produced Getting Killed, it was clear that the band was bracing for massive impact."
"It definitely helped that frontman Cameron Winter's solo album, Heavy Metal, snuck in under the wire last December (a time of year often ignored by the music press) and became a critical sleeper hit. Getting Killed's warbly and weirdly prescient single "Taxes" became the de facto left-of-the-dial song of the summer; Cameron Winter leaked its follow-up single, "Trinidad" on Instagram against his record label's wishes, and the track's blood-curdling chorus became a runaway meme."
Over dinner at Junior's, a couple speculated about who would attend the Geese show at Brooklyn Paramount, which hosted two sold-out nights. The Getting Killed tour concluded its American leg with the band's homecoming shows and a later Camp Flog Gnaw appearance. Geese moved from indie buzz around 2021's Projector and 2023's 3D Country to mainstream visibility in 2025. Frontman Cameron Winter's solo album Heavy Metal became a critical sleeper hit. Singles "Taxes" and "Trinidad" gained viral attention, and the band played a post-release pop-up behind Lot Radio for about 4,000 people.
