Taking inspiration from big-name acts like the Beatles, the Who, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, the Bee Gees, and Prince (to spout just a few), the aptly named Under the Influence of Giants emerged from southern California in the early 2000s. The group was praised early on -- especially after the release of its debut single, Mamas Room, in mid-2006 -- for its smooth combination of ock and pop with a funk-edged groove. Vocalist Aaron Bruno and guitarist Drew Stewart had been writing songs together since high school, but the two first came into public view as members of the Maverick Records ock outfit Home Town Hero. Something ultimately clicked further, however, when the friends hooked up with drummer/keyboardist Jamin Wilcox (son of Hall & Oates/Utopias John Willie Wilcox), who had previously belonged to another California ock act, Audiovent (Atlantic Records). With Wilcoxs talents on board, the hook-laden pop-soul of Under the Influence of Giants was born. Bassist David Amezcua later completed the group, and the guys recorded the Heaven Is Full EP. Distributing their music online and at shows, the bandmembers took full advantage of the social networking godsend /Myspace to spread their name. Most of the EP would eventually find its way onto their debut full-length, both releases being produced by Blind Melons Brad Smith and Christopher Thorn. Under the Influence of Giants played a brief seven-city tour in spring 2006 with Mute Math; their self-titled Island debut appeared that August.
