The Breeders, originally conceived by Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses), emerged as a creative outlet and went on to become one of the biggest bands of the early 90s whose influence is still felt today. The Breeders struck it big via their second album, Last Splash, featuring their runaway hit single “Cannonball”. Released in 1993, the record catapulted the band into the mainstream, where it achieved platinum status and saw them open for Nirvana.

Since their hiatus in 1995, the band have spent the 2000s releasing albums sporadically, including Title TK (2002), Mountain Battles (2008) and All Nerve (2018), they also celebrated the 30th anniversary of Last Splash with an album reissue, extensive tour and appearances at Coachella and Riotfest, alongside shows with The Foo Fighters, Belly and more
