“You can tell by the way Earl Greyhound pistol-whip the middle of “Monkey” in chopped-up meter,
“Black Dog” style, that they are here to get the Led out.” – Rolling Stone

“Whether or not Earl Greyhound are the next big thing is irrelevant—watching them will convince
you that they are.” – New Yorker

“Rhythmic intelligence itself isn’t enough to melt this much face. Matt Whyte’s ballsy vocals, the
never-cheated transitions, the sly way the song switches to swung-feel for a finale and then
quotes “Dig a Pony”– that’s the stuff that makes the flames extra fiery.” – Pitchfork Media

“This band can crush your favorite band…As heavy as Led Zeppelin, but way less obnoxious, Earl
Greyhound update traditional hard rock by leaving out the crotch-happy swagger, with terrific results.
Fronted by excitable guitarist Matt Whyte, the New York trio seem happiest when they’re trying to
simulate an earthquake on the pounding “S.O.S.,” though even the Beatles-esque “Good” produces a
wicked rumble. For that, credit rude drummer Ricc Sheridan, who cheerfully tries to demolish each
song, regardless of style.” – SPIN Magazine (4 Stars)

“A roadhouse riff-rock monster so unbelievably brawny it sounds like it’s crushing beer kegs on its
forehead.” – Blender

Earl Greyhound kicks off its Fall tour tonight in New York at the Rumsey Playfield with Gov’t Mule. After a couple dates with Warren Haynes and co., Kamara, Matt & Ricc with be sharing the stage with the one one only, Chris Cornell. The trio will alsot be making stops at the Monolith Festival with Flaming Lips & Art Brut, and the Voodoo Music Experience with Rage against the Machine and Smashing Pumpkins.
