NAME: Giant Drag
PROGRESS REPORT: Completing work on the Swan Song EP, recorded at Sunset Lodge Recording in Los Angeles; beginning work on untitled full-length album.
Nothing bums out Giant Drag mainwoman Annie Hardy. She hunts out the upsides everywhere–”You Fuck Like My Dad” excluded, maybe. Hardy’s applying that same dark humor from her albums to her current condition. Right now the formidable frontwoman is stuck at home a lot with a lot of pain and “overall bummerness” that makes it hard to move. Hardy thought the aches were tour injuries, caused by loading and unloading equipment, but it didn’t go away even after Giant Drag wrapped up their tour. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that can make you feel sore and aching all over. “Basically I’m in dull to gnarly pain all the time, and I’m supposed to be doing physical therapy three times a week but can’t afford it,” Hardy says. “But it’s not terminal cancer so I try not to bitch about it too much.”
