North Carolina's Giant have moved forward with a new name, Braveyoung. The group will release a new 10" LP, Bloom, in the coming months via The End Records. The band commented on the change on name:
To avoid inevitable legal repercussions, we have decided to stop using the name Giant. Braveyoung will be the name we now collectively function under. Nothing is changing, we are still the same band, but this has been a long time coming, and we are finally confident enough to go forward with it. It's only a name.
The band last released a split EP with Tides in 2007.
