About Giant Haystacks
Just as certainly as you’ll die and become wormfood, you will, with equal certainty, find San Francisco’s Giant Haystacks compared to the Gang of Four in just about any review of them you read in the music press. The comparison isn’t without merit, however, and that’s a good thing. The question has been asked: Are Giant Haystacks punk, or post-punk? If the music they made came out in 1979, alongside the new releases of bands like The Ex, Stiff Little Fingers, or The Jam, Giant Haystacks would have been called punk.
