Greg Hoy & The Boys
East Bay, CA via NYC-based songwriter Greg Hoy - who's recorded with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies), Sylvia Massy (Johnny Cash, Tom Petty), and John Vanderslice (Spoon, Nada Surf) - has toured over 120 dates across the US since the fall of 2021.
Comparisons to Jack White, Tom Petty, and Brittany Howard aside, the veteran songwriter has been a long time critical favorite. Hip-hop icon Ice-T appeared in his recent music video for 'Can You Take It?' which was nominated for a California Music Video Award. Picked to take part in the 2021 Durango Songwriters Showcase for Film & TV, his songs have been heard on networks such as the CW, HBO, and MTV, as well as in commercials for Pinterest, Adobe, and American Express.
Time Out NY says 'Hoy's music is fueled by straight up melodicism.' Jack at The Big Takeover says says 'This has to be the best pop record I've ever heard recorded entirely by one person: is he for real?' Broken 8 says his work 'shines with a focused punk rock swagger.' The band is currently supporting both the vinyl release of Yay For Effort as well as a remix Extra Effort, featuring new versions of the title track by J. Robbins, Ariel Levine, and brainstorm Sheen.
