The Pretenders

About

In its heyday, The Pretenders were a snarling rock band that lived hard and partied like heavily--even losing a few members to drug addiction. The group released several commercially successful albums in the 1980s and though its prominence has since waned, it has nevertheless continued to maintain a fairly busy touring schedule and is regarded as one of the more capable female-fronted rock acts to have emerged out of the 1980s.
