Check out the new single One Leg Up from upcoming self-tltled album by Geezer

August 4, 2016

Geezer is set to release their self-titled album this November through Ripple (CD and Digital) and STB Records (vinyl). They have just released their lead off single, One Leg Up which Pat Harrington describes, “It’s about the kind of woman you can’t be around because the temptation is too great. You know you shouldn’t, but you know you could… “ Check out the new track here: Harrington comments, “It’s one driving groove, all the way through. Simple. Rock. Riffs. Although it wasn’t the original intent, the song ended up being kind of an homage to The Stooges. It’s our take on those great songs like “Loose” or “TV Eye”. The lyrics are also greatly influenced by the man himself. I just thought to myself, “What would Iggy do?”. Sing about women, cavemen and dogs… primal instincts, temptation, decadence. It’s been a staple of our live show for over a year now and it always gets the crowd moving” To get you ready for this album, Geezer and Ripple Music are making the lead off single available as [Read More]
