2006 solo album from Greg Hoy, who fronts Hoy, a band whose two releases on this site are much over-looked---do check out their most recent "Forever Endeavor"!. But let`s talk Tastmakers & Heartbreakers, a confident solo outing that explores some different territory than Hoy. Meticulously created in his Brooklyn apartment studio during a creative near year-long bout with gainful under-employment, 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. "Muscular with brains, brainy with muscle, Greg Hoy writes the kind of left-of-the-dial rock that the repeat button on your cd player was designed for.`-International Cork. "Power-pop with big guitar crunch, some real back-beat presence, and encircling guitars, bold melodies and no hint of boyish niceties or polite mannerism" - Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover. "Tastemakers & Heartbreakers is a treasure trove of exciting, infectious power-pop songs...Hoys success derives from complete commitment of effort, passion, imagination, and musicianship to each individual song. Uniquely, everything flows; his albums never sound like a disjointed collection of tracks. For the unexposed, Hoys new album is his most interesting and accessible. Tastemakers & Heartbreakers confirms that Hoy is among the best contemporary pop-rock artists."-Delusions Of Adequacy. Hoy is an artist more Not Lamers and power pop fans need to be aware of and now is a very, very good time to exactly that!
