Wickedly cute...


Annie Hardy, who essentially is Giant Drag, is adorable. Her songs aren't.

They are, however, very cool, completely rocking and occasionally hysterical. You may already have heard one of them, without knowing it. Nip/Tuck promoted its last season with her blazingly awesome cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game.

Giant Drag's music has the distortion that gave grunge its signature sound, but is more melodic than grunge ever was. Think Mazzy Star turning the amps up to 11 and really rocking out on some good covers - while drunk.

I've also got to say that, even if Giant Drag wasn't an awesome band, anyone who refers to their song You Fuck Like My Dad as "Jesus's favorite" is alright with me. Or who accuses Chris Isaak of raping her as a young, young girl and stealing Wicked Game.

All of this makes the fact that her record label has apparently dropped her even more unfortunate. Fuck them I say. Fuck them good and hard.
