New Music From The Pretenders
Chrissie Hynde announced this week that there will be a new album from The Pretenders this summer and of course non-stop touring to go along with it. Relentless is due out September 1, and the first single, “Let The Sun Come In,” is a great throwback to the band’s late ’70s-early ’80s vibes.
Chrissie Hynde says of the album’s title, “I enjoy seeing the various meanings and origins of a word. And I liked the definition: ‘showing no abatement of intensity.’ So when it came to an album title, it seemed fitting. You know…to keep doing it. I think anyone in a band is constantly questioning if they should keep going. It starts as a youthful pursuit and eventually, it makes you wonder, why am I doing this? It’s the life of the artist. You never retire. You become relentless.”
Pre-orders for Relentless are available now.
In addition to their own headlining dates and multiple festivals this summer, The Pretenders will actually be opening for Guns N’ Roses on their European tour what is a most unusual pairing.
Pretenders will be joining @gunsnroses for the following European shows this summer as well as London Hyde Park!
