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 will hit the road this Spring for some dates throughout the east coast and
midwest with Parlor Mob supporting, and will be performing at the inaugural All Points
West Festival at Liberty State Park, NJ in August. The band will be previewing songs
from their upcoming album during these shows. Following the tour, the NYC-based trio
will head into the studio to record the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut LP, Soft
Targets (Some Records). We cant wait!
