Pixies are an American alternative rock band formed in 1986, in Boston, Massachusetts.
Pixies are associated with the 1990s alternative rock boom and draw on elements including punk rock and surf rock. Their music is known for its dynamic “loud-quiet-loud” shifts and song structures.
Francis is Pixies‘ primary songwriter. His often-surreal lyrics cover offbeat subjects such as extraterrestrials, incest, and biblical violence. They achieved modest popularity in the US but were more successful in Europe. Their jarring pop sound influenced acts, such as Nirvana, Radiohead, the Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer.

Bono of U2 has called Pixies “one of America’s greatest bands ever”, and Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke said that Pixies “changed my life”. Bowie, whose own music had inspired Francis and Santiago while they were at university, has said that the Pixies made “just about the most compelling music of the entire 80s.
Sonically, Pixies are credited with popularizing the extreme dynamics and stop-start timing that would become widespread in alternative rock; Pixies’ songs typically feature hushed, restrained verses, and explosive, wailing choruses.
Their discography includes nine studio albums, 26 singles, seven compilations, one mini-LP, and five EPs.
