- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Self-release number three from pop rock musician Greg Hoy happens to be the
first issued under both his first AND last names. Meticulously created in his
Brooklyn apartment studio during a creative near year-long bout with ægainful
under-employment,Æ the record digs into politics, both international and
interpersonal, priming the power pop pump while adding disco beats, analog
synths, acoustic guitars and hand percussion.
The first, self-titled solo CD HOY was recorded and released in 2003, receiving
substantial support from NYC press and beyond, getting placement of the
lead-off track æTested By HistoryÆ on the WB Network television series æOne
Tree HillÆ. Live shows as a trio followed, with writing of new material in
2004.
Release two, 2005Æs mega-caffeinated band effort æForever Endeavour,Æ features
a tasty guitar cameo by Bad Religion/Minor Threat guitarist Brian Baker.
Recorded both at GregÆs home studio and with the notorious Mr Wohlsen (50 Cent)
in Brooklyn. The bandÆs exciting live show was honed from Detroit to Boston to
DC and back.
æGreg Hoy & The BoysÆ will begin promoting the CD with live shows after its
release in 2006, available as are the previous two releases at Not Lame
Recording Company, CD Baby and iTunes.
æTastemakers & HeartbreakersÆ
Written, played, recorded and mixed by GH at home.
Additional live drum recording at Cook Street Sound
Tambourine & mixing assistance on 7 by Dave Sharma
Mastering by Travis Leonard at Kitchen Mastering, NC
