Formed in 1983, Sydney. The Died Pretty's style ranged from impassioned, tortured, bluesy post-punk gothic rock to later indie-pop-rock. Three early releases achieved 'Single of the Week' in UK music weekly Melody Maker. In Australia they commenced with three alternative chart No. 1 hits in a row. They were popular in alternative scenes in several European countries and even charted there as well as in Australia with several later albums in the top 40. Their most well known songs were perhaps in the early '90s with the radio friendly "Sweetheart", "Godbless" and "D.C." - a tribute to a departed friend. According to rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, they "unashamedly plundered rock's past to arrive at an original sound that was always passionate, atmospheric and uplifting."
