Bio

Giant Wow's music gets to the point. The band performs a distinctive strain of melodic power pop that turns on a dime. Their radio-friendly songs are anthems for the mistreated - in a carefully-crafted power-dotted-with-moments-of-serenity wrapper, delivering payoff after sugary sweet payoff.

Reviews pegged the band as distinctive and catchy, "Giant Wow is definitely some unique strain of power pop, but beyond that, descriptions and comparisons lack."

These energetic live performers garnered national and regional attention with appearances at the CMJ/Rock Hall Music Fest and the FOX 8 TV morning show.

In late 2009, Giant Wow released the EP, HEY GIRL. The quartet worked with acclaimed producer/engineer Erwin Musper (David Bowie, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Chicago, the Scorpions, etc) on the recording.

Press Reviews

Giant Wow is definitely some unique strain of power pop, but beyond that, descriptions and comparisons lack.

Giant Wow has a knack for writing catchy pop tunes, the kind that stick in your head. I dare you to listen to “Cosmonaut” and not keep humming it for the rest of the day.

Giant Wow pulls the curtains back on the quartet's irresistible choruses and big rock high-fives.

Giant Wow's solid songwriting (of the melodic Pop/Rock variety) is enhanced by Jesse Gilsinger's always-impressive and imaginative guitar work (dueling with Adams’ own crafty fretwork) and superb harmonies. “Wicked Girl” is a standout track, a love-vengeance tale with irresistible hooks and driving, spiraling rhythm, sounding like Queens of the Stone Age minus the machismo.
