Artists: Giant Drag

Giant Drag's Annie Hardy has told Rolling Stone that she's just a little pissed at the band's label re-releasing their Hearts And Unicorns LP Stateside, including UK bonus track 'Wicked Game'.

Hardy - who told DiS earlier this year that everything was fine with the label, Kickball/Interscope, prior to their recording of the Chris Isaak song (click HERE for the interview) - told the US magazine:

"Obviously, the cover wasn't on the original version of the album because we didn't fucking want it there. It was a song that I had been playing before, and it's only three chords. Little did we know."

The song has hit airwaves in the US with no little force, though, leading to the move to re-release the pair's debut long-player. Hardy added: "...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!"

Well, as long as you don't ever get a 6 string bass player in (yuk) you'll be nothing like the Ant Farm...

It's not even the best track on the album anyway...obviously..


thing is...

...I actually really like this cover, but I can see why they're pissed, as it's become label priority over their own material.

I dig Annie's slurring. It's teh sex.

Annie doing most things is 'teh sex'.

I never really liked the song anyway. The original that is, and then even less when HIM did it.

They stop playing it playing live should sort it out....


Nonsense!

It's one of the greatest songs of all time!
