It?s so in vogue these days to bemoan the lack of talented female singer songwriters.

Submit The Roches as Exhibit A against that fallacy. When the sisterly trio first came on the scene in the 1970s, they immediately made a name for themselves with quirky storytelling, intricate harmonies and compelling, optimistic music. While musical fads have come and gone, The Roches played, took a hiatus, and now happily have returned to there musical roots.
