Video: Giant Drag "Stuff to Live For" official music video

Life's been rough for Giant Drag's frontwoman Annie Hardy. Health issues and the music industry haven't been too kind to her in recent years. We did get this pretty sweet EP release "Swang Song" Back in February 2010 but since then, not a word as to when their sophomore album (their debut "Hearts And Unicorns" came out in 2006) would [...]

While other female-fronted indie-rock acts continue to push boundaries, Giant Drag seem content to remain stuck in the past. On their thoroughly enjoyable debut LP, Hearts and Unicorns, Giant Drag struck a curious balance. Amid the crunch of fuzzed-out power chords, frontwoman Annie Hardy squealed and squirmed, spewing forth lyrics that were by turns, twisted, sentimental, self-effacing and sexually empowering.
