Pretenders

Five tracks of high-octane new wave and street-smart rock. A lean, swaggering bridge between the band's debut and the sophisticated hooks of their follow-up.

It's the ultimate 'cool girl' rock record that still kicks like a mule.

A sharp, swaggering mix of urban grit and melodic confidence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, foul-mouthed opening of 'Precious' that sets an immediate tone of zero-compromise defiance.
The interplay between James Honeyman-Scott's melodic guitar lines and the driving, muscular bass of Pete Farndon.
Chrissie Hynde's shift from a low, cool vibrato to a snarling, percussive delivery mid-verse.
