The Pretenders
The Pretenders are a rock band formed in 1978, fronted by American singer-songwriter Chrissie Hynde.
Known for combining punk energy with classic rock songcraft, they produced hits like "Brass in Pocket" and "Back on the Chain Gang." The name suggests impostors or those making claims to something—in rock, perhaps a claim to authenticity or legitimacy.
