Giant Drag Voice Anger At Album Re-release

Giant Drag front woman Annie Hardy has voiced her displeasure with the decision to re-release the bands debut album ‘Hearts And Unicorns’ in America.

The notoriously outspoken Hardy says the decision was made by their label Kickball, who wanted to include the cover of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’ on the reissue, and that the duo aren’t happy at it.

Speaking to Rolling Stone Hardy said: "Obviously, the cover wasn't on the original version of the album because we didn't fucking want it there."

Hardy dismissed the track as "not even ironic" and didn’t sound too enthusiastic about the song when adding: "It was a song that I had been playing before, and it's only three chords. Little did we know."

The song has been the bands break through hit on many US radio stations but Hardy says she’s a little apprehensive about its success.

"I guess either they're buttering my balls, or it's the truth: It's hard to get female-fronted bands on bigger radio stations. So this could be a foot in the door, or it could be the kiss of death and we'll be the next Alien Ant Farm. Wait and see!"
