Giants Chair is an influential post-hardcore band that has carved out a unique niche in the music world with their deeply textured sound and introspective lyrics. Formed in the early 1990s in Kansas City, Missouri, the group initially made a significant impact with their resonant melodies and poignant narratives that resonate with the angst and authenticity of the midwestern punk and emo scenes. The band is comprised of core members Scott Hobart on guitar and vocals, Byron Collum on bass, and Paul Ackerman on drums, who together create a sound that is both aggressive and contemplative.
After a period of dormancy, Giants Chair re-emerged with new material that rekindled the flame of their initial spark. Their discography, which includes notable works like "Red and Clear" (1995) and "Purity and Control" (1997), is revered among fans and critics for its raw energy and emotive power. In 2019, after a hiatus of more than two decades, they released "Prefabylon," an album that retained the spirit of their earlier output while reflecting the growth and maturity of the band members both personally and musically. Singles such as "The Streets," "Russian Racehorse," and "Dirty Winter" display the characteristic Giants Chair sound that has both evolved and remained timeless, continuing to garner them a dedicated following and respect in the alternative music community.
