Giant-Last Of The Runaways (1989)

Giant is an American band formed by a group of session musicians from various Los Angeles studios. The band members are brothers Dann and David Huff (guitar and drums, respectively), bassist Mike Brigadello, and the experienced keyboardist Alan Pascua, a musician with a highly successful past collaborating with Rick Springfield, Santana, Bob Dylan, and House of Lords, among others. In 1989, they moved to the UK, where, under the production of Terry Thomas, they recorded their debut album at Ridge Farm Studios in Rusper. On this debut, titled "Last of the Runaways", the Los Angeles group showcases exquisite AOR with beautifully crafted melodies and catchy choruses, all underpinned by the power of melodic hard rock. Tracks like "I'm a Believer", "I Can't Get Close Enough", "I'll See You in My Dreams" or more melodic pieces like "Love Welcome Home", catapulted them to share the top of melodic rock with the iconic bands of those years.
