The Pretenders
Hereford, Herefordshire, UK
BAND
Over the years, The Pretenders crossed the bridge between punk/new wave and Top 40 pop more than any other band, recording a series of hard, spiky singles that were also melodic and immediately accessible. Female lead singer Chrissie Hynde bent the traditional male roles of rock and roll to her own liking.
