Music opinion: Geese review - Getting Killed tour storms through Manchester
Geese’s Getting Killed was a perfect storm; Winter’s eclectic Heavy Metal had slowly but surely captured the attention of the mainstream, and upon turning back to the company of his high-school compatriots, he seems to have capitalised.
