"The most important thing in mental health is really talking about it. It's really hard, you know, cuz those conversations are, are almost never fun. Forming a unit and a little family, you know, especially when it feels like a lot of things are moving around and there's a lot of changing scenery and a lot of new things and new people. It's something that you kind of honestly need." - Geese

But all changed when they released a few self produced singles and they saddled up with their manager Willy and started to receive label interest. Soon the band would be opening for Jack White and selling out the Bowery. Their influences range from indie rock bands like Deerhunter to post punk artists like, Joy Division to classic rock acts like Van Morrison.

“When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you”
