It's not every day that a new band is mentioned in the same breath as My Bloody Valentine, The Pixies, Mazzy Star, PJ Harvey, the Beach Boys and Nirvana. It's even rarer when it occurs in those bastions of hipster credibility, NME & Spin Magazine. Rarer still when that same band's first recording was a Journey cover. But indeed, that is part of the story behind Los Angeles combo Giant Drag - guitarist/singer Annie Hardy and drummer Micah Calabrese.
