First In Space Geronimo I don’t know why, but somehow there always seems to be some sort of bullshit surrounding First In Space. Maybe I missed something, but I don’t quite see how a band that sounds like the Replacements/Libertine/Tom Petty should be that controversial. Then again it is Youngstown so I regress. “Geronimo” is an outstanding showcase of this Springsteenesque trio. It’s soulful, the lyrics are introspective and the vocals are arguably the best in the area. It’s clean, it’s catchy, it’s chalked full of guitar hooks – it’s as if they’ve taken The Replacements one step further which is no small feat. “They Won’t Catch Me Now,” “Taking Over” and “Stuck Around You” are instant classics. I don’t know what you might of heard about this band. But I’m telling you, this trio is damn good. - 8/10 – B.J. Lisko
