Pretenders

In November 2002, the Pretenders performed 'Back On The Chain Gang' for a live audience, and this marked an interesting moment in their career. They had recently released 'Loose Screw' in 2002, an album that showcased their enduring relevance in rock and roll after years of lineup changes and evolving sounds. The band's sturdy frontwoman, Chrissie Hynde, continued to embody the rebellious spirit that defined their early hits, emphasizing their knack for blending punk energy with poignant lyricism.
