Greg Hoy’s “What, My People?” is a full-throttle garage-rock jolt. From the second that fuzzed-out guitar swagger fades in, you know you’re in for a wild, punchy ride. The drums burst in like a street fight in 4/4 time, the riffs snarl with grit, and Greg’s raspy, no-nonsense vocals charge through the noise like a man on a mission. It feels like it was born in a basement with too many amps, a bucket of opinions, and zero patience for BS.

There’s something smug and smirking in his tone. It’s not just noise for the sake of noise either—“What, My People?” is razor-sharp in its commentary, poking fun at a tech-seduced society where plastic stars shine brighter than real ones and information is chewed up and spit out faster than we can question it. Greg’s been inside that world—tech and all—and he throws shade with experience, not just instinct.

It’s all self-made, too. Every chaotic, glorious layer is Greg’s doing, from the snarling soundscape to the off-the-wall, DIY music video where rock meets alien invasion in three minutes flat. It’s playful and pointed at once, with a battered globe dangling by a thread and subtitles in some alien code (or maybe just really cool nonsense). And let’s not forget the Nostromo hat, because yes, Greg Hoy is that guy who slips a Ridley Scott reference into a garage-rock anthem without blinking.

“What, My People?” is the anthem for anyone tired of scroll-induced brain fog and headline hysteria. It’s loud, loose, and a little unhinged, in the best way. Check out the music video on YouTube to ride the full idea in audio and vision.
