I'll Stand By You, Back On The Chain Gang, there's no denying The Pretenders have written some cracking tunes over the years, and packaged up with new album Break Up The Concrete, they prove they've aged gracefully and are better than ever.

So on Tuesday night Matt and I went to see The Pretenders at the Highline Ballroom, and they were AMAZING. Chrissie Hynde still sounds like she did in the 80's! the whole band were excellent. The did several songs from Break Up The Concrete which is a great album, but of course we were most excited about the classics, and she did not disappoint. They played Talk of The Town, Kid, Back On Th...

My criteria for a criminally underrated song is it has to appear less then 10 times in mixes at artofthemix.org. The Pretenders aren't really underrated as a group with their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame entry but I never see this song mentioned anywhere. It's not a check mark under the AMG album review or as a recommended song from the Pretenders catalog in those new playlist books coming out. E...

First up this week is 'Boots of Chinese [...] ~~- The Pretenders

Interviews can be pretty predictable and boring, right? Inspired by the fact the music press was at its best when people like Chrissie Hynde were writing for the NME and more recently Andrew Bird's regular column for the New York Times, we asked literate troubadour and DiS board regular Jeremy Warmsley to begin the first of a series of pieces by artists for DiS...

Here's yet another of the tracks they have released to bloggers and fans. More of a mellow Poco or Eagles type tune in the traditional Pretenders vocal style. Nice combo.

I'm being completely seduced by the new Pretenders album. With one track being given away each week, there's time to really get inside each one before the next one drops. It helps that it's a great album.Chrissie's voice is intimate and confessional. She can belt a rocker when she wants, but the two really brilliant songs for me are the one up above and another called "The Maker Of Nothing", w...
