Giant
High-octane melodic rock defined by surgical guitar precision and massive, sky-high choruses. Perfect for open roads and 80s-inspired nostalgia.

Giant is an American melodic hard rock band formed in 1987, primarily centered around the virtuosity of guitarist/vocalist Dann Huff and his brother, drummer David Huff. Emerging at the tail end of the arena rock era, Giant distinguished themselves through a level of technical proficiency rarely seen in the genre, owing to the members' backgrounds as elite session musicians.
Their sound identity is built on Dann Huff's sophisticated guitar arrangements, which utilize complex chord voicings and high-gain but articulate lead tones, alongside Alan Pasqua's prominent keyboard textures. Their career arc saw a peak with the 1989 album 'Last of the Runaways' and the hit ballad 'I'll See You in My Dreams', followed by a brief hiatus and several reformations with rotating vocalists like Terry Brock and Kent Hilli. Critically, they are regarded as 'musician's musicians' within the AOR community. T. and Harem Scarem.
