“Drop the needle anywhere & you're greeted with Hoy's trademark meaty, dirt-discharging guitars & swaggering Mick Jagger/David Johansen-like growl. ” - Jack Rabid, Big Takeover
“'Loud & boisterous, delivered with attitude & flashes of wit' ” - Stepkid
“Opening on crunching rhythm rolling into a stripped-down garage-rock melody, “Cacophony” travels on dirty, chugging guitars topped by Hoy’s Weezer-like observations of what’s going on. Sugary backing harmonies imbue the tune with retro-radiance of creamy doo-wop.” - XS Noize
Greg Hoy gets it. The multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer and record label owner’s release “Cacophony” is a great collection of very catchy songs. The first EP has six songs that are smart, pop radio friendly, and funky with melodies so infectious you’ll find yourself singing along to most of them before they are over. – The Wrecka Stow
