Pretenders is widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums of all-time. Featuring Chrissie Hynde's incredible vocals and guitar, James Honeyman-Scott's glistening guitar, Pete Farndon's driving bass, and Martin Chambers' drums, the album is quintessential new wave and a defining album of the 80s.

It started with the release of their first single, a cover of The Kinks' "Stop Your Sobbing," produced by Nick Lowe. It would end up a top 40 hit in the UK, with their follow-up single "Kid" also reaching the top 40.

They then released one of Pretenders' most famous tracks, "Brass In Pocket." Leading with a glorious guitar rhythm embodied by a luscious chorus, "Brass In Pocket" launched Pretenders onto a different level. The track finished reaching #1 in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, and South Africa, as well as top 5s in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, New Zealand, and more. It was also a success in the US, reaching #14 and becoming the 7th music video aired on MTV.

The album continues to be highly acclaimed to this day, regularly featuring amongst best of the 1980s lists.
