There are two active bands using the moniker Red Giant, one from Cleveland, Ohio and the second from Chico, California. Back in the late summer of 1990, Damien Perry, Brian Skinner Chris Gorman, and Alex Perekrest formed Red Giant. They shared a connection through a love of classic punk, rock, and metal bands- like AC/DC, Motorhead, The MC5, Black Sabbath, and The Stooges. In 1995, Red Giant released "Psychoblaster and the Misuse of Power", cementing their footprint on the emerging stoner rock scene.
