It's an artist being mad at their label story. Giant Drag frontlady Annie Hardy has told Rolling Stone that the band are unhappy over their album's US re-release. The label, Kickball, have reissued the long player, 'Hearts And Unicorns' including a cover of Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game', which wasn't on the record initially. Hardy said: "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 garnered the band radio play on many US stations but she's not happy about that, suggesting that it might have a negative impact on Giant Drag's long term career. Hardy adds: "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!"
