Long Island quartet Giants at Large released their first album in three years, ‘The American Dream is Dead,’ in March of 2015. The band’s pop-punk sound is characterized by intelligent (and intelligible) lyrics and sincere vocals, something that certainly contributed in securing them a young and growing fan base. They just released a full band version of the track “Sympathy”, which appeared on The American Dream as an acoustic track. This version of the track allows the band’s catchy hooks, pop rhythms, and personality to shine, and takes more influence from melodic pop-punks acts such as Saves The Day, Yellowcard, and The Ataris. Giants at Large will be playing at Palisades in support of Have Mercy on June 17th and will be at Amityville Music Hall on June 19th in support of Brandon Reilly.
