Geordie is a hard/glam rock band from Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England, United Kingdom, that was formed in 1971 under the name U.S.A. The band changed its name to Geordie in 1972.

The line up of Geordie was stable from 1971 to 1975. It consisted of vocalist Brian Johnson, main songwriter and guitarist Vic Malcolm, bass guitarist Tom Hill and drummer Brian Gibson (2). The band released two albums with that line up, Hope You Like It in 1973 and Don't Be Fooled By The Name in 1974.
