The Pretenders are a British rock band formed in 1978. The original band consisted of initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). The band was impaired by drug-related deaths and numerous subsequent personnel changes have taken place over the years, with Hynde as the sole continual member. Hynde, originally from Akron, Ohio, attended the Kent State University at the time of the Kent State shootings during 1970. She moved to London during 1973, working at the weekly music paper, New Musical Express and at Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's SEX store. She was involved with early versions of The Clash and The Damned, and in short-lived bands such as Masters of the Backside and Moors Murderers. The Pretenders formed during 1978 (see 1978 in music) after Dave Hill at Anchors Records heard some demos Hynde had recorded and suggested she form a regular band to record for his new label, Real Records. Hynde formed a band comprised Pete Farndon (who was later associated romantically with Hynde) on bass, James Honeyman-Scott on guitar, and Gerry Mackleduff on drums. This band, without a name at this stage, recorded five tracks at Regents Park Studio in July 1978, including "Stop Your Sobbing". Gerry Mackleduff was replaced on drums by Martin Chambers, and Hynde named the band "Pretenders" after The Platters song "The Great Pretender".
