Citing obscenely vast influences from the smashing of rocks
to Paganini violin solos, Los Angeles' Raw Geronimo describes their sound as
jungle-punk-soul-surf-goth-avant-pop-wildness. Equally channeling the
sweetness of Ronnie Spector along with the magnetic intensity of Siouxsie, Raw
Geronimo is the brainchild of multi instrumentalist/singer Laena
Geronimo. Forming the band in early 2011, the group has quickly built a
reputation for their mesmerizing live tribal séance and high-energy
performances.
This November, Neurotic Yell Records will issue the Faustine 7"
Raw Geronimo's first official release. Performed all by Laena herself, the
driving "Faustine" showcases her enormous talent skirting the
lines of Television's moody post-punk and the percussive build of Kate Bush's
"Running Up That Hill". The b-side "Magnetic Love"
slows things down with it's soulfully hypnotic Twin Peaks atmosphere before
climaxing into a noisy swell . A very promising first taste, these songs offer
a great introduction to a band that will no doubt be one to watch in 2012.
