about

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 and magnetic intensity of Siouxsie, Raw Geronimo is the brainchild of multi instrumentalist/singer Laena Geronimo.

Since forming the band in early 2011, (with members of Amanda Jo Williams, The Black Apples, Cactus Pricks, Swahili Blonde, Dante Vs Zombies, and Facts On File) the group has quickly built a reputation for their mesmerizing live tribal séance and high-energy performances.

The driving "Faustine" showcases Laena's 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.

Laena Geronimo >>> sing song and dance
