Earl Greyhound

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 first signed to Some Records but later started their own label, Hawk Race Records.[3] Their music is heavily influenced by blues rock and hard rock bands of both the 1990s and the 1970s, and the intertwined vocals of Whyte and Thomas are a key component of the band's sound.[4][5] After an EP in 2004, the band's first full-length album, Soft Targets, was released in 2006, followed by Suspicious Package in 2010.[1] The band then went on an extended hiatus. Kamara Thomas, with backing band The Ghost Gamblers, released the album Earth Hero in 2013.[6] Matt Whyte released the album To a Deer Outside Ithaca with the indie-pop duo Rupe Shearns in 2017.[7]
