Earl Greyhound is an American rock trio from Brooklyn consisting of Matt Whyte (vocals, guitar), Kamara Thomas (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Ricc Sheridan (drums).[1] Sheridan replaced original drummer Christopher Bear just after the band recorded its first full-length album.[2] They were previously signed to Some Records but have since started their own label, Hawk Race Records. Their music is heavily influenced by blues rock and hard rock bands of both the 90's and the 70's, and the intertwined vocals of Whyte and Thomas are a key component of the band's sound.[3] After an EP in 2004, the band's first full-length album, Soft Targets, was released in 2006, followed by Suspicious Package in 2010.
