“This Isn’t It”
from the EP Lemona
2005
iTunes
Two straight days featuring artists from Orange County, California. And neither has guested on The O.C. — yet?

Giant Drag |
I didn’t plan that. It just happened. Anyway, today it’s Giant Drag. The band is fronted by guitarist/vocalist Annie Hardy, and she’s joined on drums by some dude named Micah Calabrese. But — and no offense to him — Micah’s not particularly important. It’s Annie Hardy who garners the attention.
She’s drawn comparisons to such artists as P.J. Harvey and The Breeders, which I guess might help explain why I think “This Isn’t It” sounds like it could be from 1995 rather than 2005?
Lemona is the band’s five-song debut EP. Giant Drag’s first full-length, Hearts and Unicorns, will feature a few carry-over tracks from the EP — including “This Isn’t It” — and is expected to see release later this year.
Download an MP3 of “This Isn’t It” from TheCrutch.net [right-click/save-as] and maybe check out a video for the song at the Giant Drag website.
And also from the band’s site, here’s an MP3 of a cover of Journey’s “Who’s Crying Now?” [right-click/save-as] Yes, that’s right. Journey.
