Pick of the Day: Earl Greyhound

8/25/06, 6:10 pm EST

Earl GreyhoundsThese Brooklyn rockers started out as a guitar and piano duo, but now, as a robust three-piece about to release their debut album Soft Targets (out in October), they are all about the mammoth, full-on rock. Guitarist Matt Whyte and bassist Kamara Thomas share vocal duties on brawny romps with a vintage T. Rex and MC5-ish feel. And drummer Ricc Sheridan’s be-bop informed pummeling could totally steamroll John Bonham’s in a drum-off. Standout tracks include the fuzzed-out stoner-metal of “SOS” as well as “Back and Forth,” a he-said-she-said tug of war between lovers who are cold, calculating, and cruel to each other: He calls her a concubine, but she knows he’ll come crawling back. They always do.
