The Pretenders Reviews

Pretenders  : Popstar

Pretenders : Popstar

This is what she has to say: don't eat meat. Be nice to cats.

Pretenders : Human

It's so bland you could use it in sleep experiments, playing it at 100 decibels to an insomniac [B]Phil Collins[/B] fan and they still wouldn't wake up.

  • May 8, 1999

Viva El Amor!

The Pretenders Biography

The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in March 1978. The original band comprised initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). The band has experienced drug-related deaths of the members, and numerous subsequent personnel changes have taken place over the years, with Hynde and Chambers as the remaining original members.
