Following their acclaimed debut, Pretenders II cemented the band’s reputation with a mix of punk energy, melodic finesse, and biting lyricism. This 2022 reissue features remastered audio by original producer Chris Thomas, bringing new clarity to the final album recorded with the original lineup. From the swagger of “Bad Boys Get Spanked” to the wistful “I Go to Sleep,” it’s a compelling snapshot of early ’80s rock evolution.
