Rap

The Breeders is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of James Gang, The Go! Team, Deerhunter, L7 and Luscious Jackson. Those roots explain a lot about how The Breeders arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Pixies, Throwing Muses, Belly, Sleater-Kinney and Veruca Salt, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nirvana, Belly, Nilüfer Yanya, Total Life Forever and Julie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 53 connections around The Breeders, reaching back through James Gang and forward to Nirvana.
