Latest Album: Under the Influence of Giants Label: Island Def Jam

From the Producers over at Island Def Jam comes another wacky indie band. Sometimes know as just The Giants this band creates a mix of a classic beatles sound with a more mordern pop sound. Yet still this can not fully describe their type of music. To truely understand their style you must listen at least 3 of their songs… then maybe, just maybe, you can get a jist of their musical standing.The Giants hit the major label scene recently, scoring “big” deals with MTV and other networks for promotion of their latest hit, Mama’s Room. If you havn’t gotten a chance to check out their music video, keep an eye out (all the youtube, etc.. versions of it have been taken down). Just the name of the song alone reminds me of Stacy’s Mom.

This band has something different that makes them stand out, and that is exactly why a label like Island Def Jam would sign them so quickly. Like William Hung and the other’s before him, the Major labels will squeeze all the $$ out of them until theres no more, leaving them and their music in the dust. Nonetheless, whatever their reign may be, this band currently captivates us with a video of psychadelic lights and almost too sweet sounding music for us to enjoy.
