23 Mar

The Searchers, pivotal to the '60s music scene with hits like 'Needles and Pins,' aren't in the Hall of Fame. Founding member Mike Pender points to a perceived British band entry quota and a bias toward 'hipper' acts as reasons. Despite these barriers, Pender notes their ongoing legacy, hailed for their lasting influence on artists like The Byrds and Tom Petty.
