Bake A Cake is a feel good pop rock tune, with a retro sixties 'down at the dance' vibe fuzzy guitar lick and a take home message.

Animal House. Bronze Radio Return. Hey Geronimo reminded The AU Review of The Byrds, The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

6. Why should I give Bake A Cake a swish past the ears? 

Bake A Cake is an upbeat number with more sweet innocence than others would have you suppose. 


7. Do Hey Geronimo have any more good tunes?

Stacks. Dreamboat Jack is a top class cracker. I'll Be There is a  sweet beauty that works itself up into a riot, Why Don't We Do Something and The Dan Kelly Song are all just tasters of Hey Geronimo's sunny brilliance.


8. Any more words kemosabe? 

Get on with ya.

Jim Adkins is the frontman for punk legends Jimmy Eat World. Going through his 'gee I’m just so sure the fans would just love to hear only me and my acoustic; hell no it’s not narcissism, it's for the fans' wank phase, he has actually put together a tune that doesn’t blow donkey balls. I Will Go (2015) is one of six tunes he dropped on an E.P. of the same name and is a Roy Orbison or Travelling Wilburys sounding number. Not total shite.
