The Breeders are an American alternative rock band formed in 1989 by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses. Known for their raw, grungy sound and melodic hooks, the band's music often blurs the lines between punk and pop. Their most influential work, the 1993 album "Last Splash," featured the hit single "Cannonball," and is considered significant in defining the '90s alternative rock scene. Despite numerous lineup changes, the distinctive vocals and songwriting of Kim Deal remain the band's consistent signature elements.
