5.0 out of 5 stars I never write reviews..., November 7, 2006
By Renee Anderson (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...but this band and this album are so brilliant that I'm actually doing it. I'm not a music fanatic and I often feel completely out of touch with what's going on , especially because there's no nation-wide forum for hearing about independent and new musicians (commercial radio does NOT count). Lucky for me I heard a song (Fashion) by this band on a website (am I allowed to say pandora.com? ok, well, I did), did a triple-take: who the heck is this?? and am now a total geek fanclub idiot. I wasn't even like this in high school with the local punk bands.

We all know that bands borrow and steal from whomever influenced them, but I am so sick on new(ish?) bands that sound like old(ish) bands a la East Bay/Seattle grunge stuck-in-a-rut, who don't have an ounce of talent to take an old sound and give it something unique. Yawn.

All I can say is thank you Earl Greyhound for re-elevating good old fashioned rock n' roll. You can just tell that Earl Greyhound studies and offers kudos to their forefathers, modernizing without bastardizing. They bring the 70's into the 2000's without losing the fundamental backbone of what made the 70' so great: the Zeppelin's and the Sly's.

And they're really hot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Solid, May 2, 2007
By Sor_Fingers (Boulder, CO USA) - See all my reviews
Earl Greyhound is one of the most exciting bands I've heard in a long time. As members of the explosion of the regeneration of the power trio along with bands like Rose Hill Drive and Wolfmother, they have produced an incredibly exciting and absolutely rocking debut album. The album features crunchy guitars, solid bass playing, thundrous drums and high adrenaline vocals in the same tradition of bands of the 70s like Led Zeppelin, Cream and Jimi Hendrix. It's loud, it's powerful and it's fantastic. Earl Greyhound is set apart from a lot of these power trios in that they have a female member. Bassist Kamara Thomas also sings background vocals (and lead on a few tracks) and adds an interesting dimension to the band's sound. Frontman Matt Whyte delivers most of the vocals and some shearing guitar work especially his soloing work on tracks like "Monkey" and "I'm the One." Drummer Big Ricc Sheridan could not be more aptly named. His drumming is absolutely earth-shaking. The band is incredibly dynamic providing lots of contrast in volume, texture, rhythm and overall feel. The writing on this album is absolutely incredible. Great lyrics and exciting arrangements make Soft Targets a must for any lover of the power trio. Standout tracks include "S.O.S." "Monkey" "It's Over," and "All Better Now." An incredibly exciting album from a band with amazing potential. I can't wait for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing debut, May 14, 2007
Wow, what an amazing debut album. These guys are by far my favorite new band along with other "retro" bands like Rose Hill Drive and Wolfmother. I just recently discovered them when I saw the video for their song S.O.S. on MTV2. As soon as it was over, I jumped over to their website and listened to the entire album in their media section. I have been obsessed with the album ever since. I highly recommend them to fans of T. Rex, Led Zep, Rolling Stones, etc. Probably the coolest thing EG has going for them is the fact that they have two amazing vocalists in Matt Whyte and Kamara Thomas. While Kamara mainly provides backing vocals, her lead vocals are amazing on Yeah, I Love you and Back and Forth.

I was lucky enough to see them in Philly this past weekend at a small club and they are even more amazing live. "Big" Ricc Sheridan is an absolute beast behind the kit. I have never seen a drummer actually break a cymbal on stage!

Do yourselves a favor and buy this album now!
