Giant Drag are a Los Angeles-based twosome on Kickball Records whose debut, Hearts and Unicorns, has landed the band on Rolling Stone's 10 Artists to Watch list this year. They remind you of The Breeders, early Liz Phair and My Bloody Valentine while still sounding unlike anything else you've ever heard. Vocalist/guitarist Annie Hardy writes blissfully fuzzy riffs and sings with a voice coated in cough syrup and sugar. Drummer Micah Calabrese plays both the drums and the synth bass at the very same time. Their songs are absolutely sublime. Do not sleep on this band!!! -- Herman Snell
