Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Bangles are an all-female band started in the early 1980s. Their genre can be summed up as a combination of rock, pop, Power Pop and jangle pop, with a pronounced influence from The Byrds and The Sixties rock that lumped them in with the Paisley Underground movement. The band consists of Debbi Peterson (vocals, drums), Vicki Peterson (vocals, guitar) and Susanna Hoffs (vocals, guitar), with former members Annette Zilinksas (vocals, bass) and Michael Steele (vocals, bass). Their first album, the Beatlesque Power Poppy All Over the Place earned them some good reviews but most importantly the attention of Prince, who wrote "Manic Monday" for them. The song and its accompanying album Different Light departed from the band's sixties rock sound in favour of state-of-the-art New Wave pop and more outside songwriters, to great commercial success and another hit single ("Walk Like an Egyptian"). Then, intra-band tensions worsened, and after releasing one more album, Everything, they split in 1989. |
