Kristin Hersh -

Former singer with cult American group Throwing Muses. Now working as a successful solo artist, Kristen Hersh has the gruff power of Courtney Love and the delicate frailty of Shirley Manson. She may sound like she smokes 40-a-day, but her songs come across with childlike innocence, despite their raw and jagged rock-edges. ‘…a uniquely idiosyncratic style of electric pop that's both playful and somber.’ - Epitonic
