Brooklyn-based rock band Geese has announced its upcoming third studio album, “Getting Killed,” set for release on September 26, 2025, via Partisan Records. This much-anticipated album marks a new chapter for the band, following their 2023 release, “3D Country,” which garnered widespread acclaim and featured on several best-of-the-year indie-rock lists. Frontman Cameron Winter, known for his distinctive vocal style, bridges his solo success with the group's dynamic spirit in this new collection. His previous solo album, “Heavy Metal,” has resonated with both critics and fans alike, setting a high bar for the band's new material.

“Taxes,” the lead single from the upcoming album, offers a compelling glimpse into the band's evolving sound. The track showcases an intriguing fusion of tumultuous percussion and guitar-driven melodies, delivering an intense and raw emotional experience. Winter’s vocals carry a haunting quality, as he navigates personal and poignant themes with lines like, “I should burn in hell/ but I don’t deserve this.” This juxtaposition of somber melodies and vibrant instrumental crescendos creates a nuanced narrative that is sure to captivate listeners. The accompanying music video mirrors the song's energy, launching from a concert scene into a kaleidoscopic chaos, capturing the essence of the band's live performances.

The production of “Getting Killed” took place over a month in Los Angeles, with Kenneth Blume, also known as Kenny Beats, at the helm. Blume's influence is apparent in the album's polished yet adventurous sound, which the band describes as a “chaotic comedy.” The record promises to deliver a potent mix of warmth and intensity, sculpting a distinct identity with experimental soundscapes and perceptive lyricism. This creative endeavor challenges the conventions of typical music structures, signaling a maturation in the band's artistic journey.

Geese's upcoming North American “Getting Killed” tour is set to begin on October 10, starting in South Burlington, Vermont, and concluding on November 21 with back-to-back shows at the Brooklyn Paramount. This tour represents their biggest headlining run so far, reflecting their growing fanbase and critical acclaim. The band's live shows are expected to sell out quickly, with most dates already seeing strong demand. The tour will include notable support acts like Racing Mount Pleasant and Dove Ellis, adding further allure to what promises to be a series of electrifying performances.

In anticipation of the album release, Geese held a free pop-up show at the Herbert Von King Park in Bed-Stuy, showcasing their commitment to connecting with fans. With successful past releases and momentum from Winter's solo album, the band is poised to capture new and returning listeners alike. Songs from “Getting Killed” such as “Trinidad,” “Cobra,” and “Long Island City Here I Come” highlight the diverse sonic palette and thematic depth waiting to be explored.

The buzz around Geese's latest endeavor is palpable across music media platforms, with significant attention from major outlets. Fans and critics eagerly await the full release, poised to delve into the band's latest exploration of heartfelt storytelling and innovative rock soundscapes. “Getting Killed” sits at the intersection of humor, tension, and music redefined, making it an essential listen of 2025.
