Hello/Goodbye

"This one took so long, it was just us doing it because we really wanted to do it, not because anyone was pushing us to do it. I'm trying really hard to suppress it, but I really am proud of this record. Not just for me, but for all of us, because we actually did it and I think it's a really good record."

Hollis is quick to add that it wouldn't have happened without a little help from their friends. "We have some of the most amazing fans in the world. I can't even call them fans anymore; they've become friends. But they helped us pay for this record, they maintain our Web site (www.greyhoundsoul.com), they just do so much for us."

Greyhound Soul marks the release of its sophomore disc with a show in the Valley this weekend.
