The Wreckers
Biography
In 2004, Michelle Branch took a break from her successful solo career to team with friend and touring backup singer Jessica Harp in a new project called the Wreckers. Previous to the Branch collaboration, Harp had been working as a singer/songwriter in Nashville, and those country music elements mixed with Branch's pop sensibilities to inform the Wreckers' rootsy, harmony-rich sound. The duo debuted in autumn 2004, performing "Good Kind" on the WB teen drama One Tree Hill. "Good Kind" then appeared on the show's official soundtrack -- issued in January 2005 -- as the Wreckers prepared to release their full-length debut. Its first single, "Leave the Pieces," hit country radio before the album, Stand Still, Look Pretty, appeared in March 2006 on Maverick and reached number 14 on the album charts. The concert album Way Back Home: Live from New York City followed in 2007. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
Selected Discography
Not only is their music good, but they are nice to look at as well! (Yummy Hotties ya know?)
On another note the little commercials they have begun to show when changing stations are a little on the "gay side"! It's too bad they've decided to do that, but I guess I shouldn't complain as this is a free and awesome service even with the stupid "commercial break"! You rock Pandora! Don't change a thing...and thanks for this service and all your efforts. I do appreciate it! |

omg u guys were soooo
good i listened to you all the time someone help me... did they really breakup? |

I think this band, although fleeting, was great for both artists. It has enabled Branch to grow in the country-pop genre(which suits her VERY well!) and it has given recognizatio n to considerable talented Harp. And I can see where the split came about- thew latter needed to get out from the former's shadow.
Anyway, it's a lovely duo, with GREAT harmony(some t h i n g that's rare in today's band music) and nice songwriting. I love One More Girl, Lay Me Down, and Crazy People. |

I love Michelle Branch. Her single with Santana is to die for. Leave the Pieces is another great piece with her friend. There should be more songs like this

Leave The Pieces is a great song. It's too bad The Wrecker's couldn't have lasted longer, they would've been great. Their song My Oh My is my favorite though. When I was in Upper Michigan visiting relatives that song came on and I had totally forgotten about it! Radio incessantly forgets the old songs in favor of the new ones, which they play repeatedly. When I was in Michigan I heard so many old songs I had forgotten about.
Anyway, The Wrecker's, great group while they lasted! |

I think Ms.Branch was much better in her solo career. But thats just me.
|

Ms. Harp left the Duo to get married & Ms. Branch seems to have dropped out of sight.

I like that the pair's voices blend so well together you can't always even tell who's singing what part :)
|

Always been a big Michelle Branch fan. My band covered a couple of her tunes. Very happy to hear that she has been able to break away from the pop pressure that the label put on her and that she can branch (pardon the pun) out to other styles. Quality work and good tunes. A lot of heart has gone into the Wreckers album. Impressive.
