Where 1,000 Gecs shined (or failed, depending on who’s asked) in its disjointed nature, 10,000 Gecs commits to a much more solid punk rock throughline in its tracklist.

With a deafening guitar track, two cartoonishly gigantic speakers behind them and strobe lights galore, the first show on the first Gecs tour since 2019 started off with an unabashed bang.

Though very different from much of Les’ past solo works, “Haunted” is just as good, if not an improvement upon her musical stylings.

100 gecs is an unapologetic reflection of an unapologetic youth, a frustrated and angry generation who has seen its predecessors either actively destroy the world or do nothing to contribute to its survival.
