2. What's the song like? 

Working For Google rocks the hardest of the tunes on the generally synth heavy album CONTENT. It has the easy rocking likeability of early Weezer mixed with the humor of dance rock Aussie bands like TISM and Bluejuice. Working For Google is a banger with a sticky chorus that is better than anything else this band have ever produced.

Generally Custard, The Beach Boys, and Weezer influenced Hey Geronimo. Although T.Rex, Dandy Warhols and Blur were direct influences on Working For Google. 

6. Why should I give Working For Google a spin?
Because you like a little nasty with your melodies; a tune with something pointed to say. 

7. What are Hey Geronimo's best songs? 
Bake A Cake, Dreamboat Jack and I'll Be There are just a few of their tasty tunes.

8. Any more words? 
CONTENT is a theme album based on a dark dystopian view of technologies influence on society.
