Brad Geiger’s latest project boldly brings together his vast background in music & his unconfined love for numerous genres & creative freedom. Feeling partly like there’s a party next door – but there’s manic uncertainty to pass through before you reach it.

Already the highlight of my day, Planet Peacock allow the natural swagger and creativity of distorted, soulful rock to pour through in an immediately hypnotic manner on this single.
Creatively fusing the heavy hit of metal with the experimental nature of alternative EDM, Feed The Weird drives with a decidedly cinematic style on this album – one that feels immediately well-suited to the Mad Max or Dark Sci-Fi corners of entertainment.
