Giant

Giant are an American hard rock band that emerged in the late 1980s, known for their powerful blend of melodic rock, searing guitar work, and emotionally charged vocals. Formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1987 by virtuoso guitarist/vocalist Dann Huff and his brother, drummer David Huff, the band also included keyboardist Alan Pasqua and bassist Mike Brignardello. Drawing from their roots in session work and deep musical backgrounds, Giant quickly gained attention for their tight musicianship and radio-friendly sound. The band released their debut album, Last of the Runaways, in 1989 through A&M Records. The record showcased their knack for combining arena-ready anthems with heartfelt ballads, most notably the hit single “I’ll See You in My Dreams,” which climbed the Billboard charts and remains a staple of the era. Their follow-up album, Time to Burn (1992), leaned into a heavier sound while retaining their melodic sensibility, earning critical praise though released during the grunge-dominated shift in rock. Despite disbanding in the early-1990s, Giant’s legacy endured through a loyal fanbase and sporadic reunions. The band resurfaced in the early 2000s with new members and material, releasing III (2001) and later Promise Land (2010), keeping their melodic rock identity intact. They disappeared again until 2009, when they returned with their fourth studio album, Promise Land, the following year. Two albums have surfaced since then: Shifting Time (2022) and Stand and Deliver in 2025.
