Wreckers

In late 2004, singer-songwriters Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp combined their talents to form a band, The Wreckers.

The Wreckers were formed when Grammy Award winner Michelle Branch recruited her longtime friend and backing singer Jessica Harp — who, at the time, was en route to signing a record deal of her own — on a new musical venture, incorporating elements from both Michelle's pop-rock style and Jessica's classical style to form a unique-sounding amalgamation. Thus, The Wreckers (short for "homewreckers")

were formed. Soon, their song, The Good Kind — originally recorded solely by Jessica — was featured on the hit teen soap opera One Tree Hill. They performed this song on the show on February 8, 2005. Later that month, the duo embarked on the month-long, nation-wide One Tree Hill Tour along with Gavin DeGraw?, Tyler Hilton, and Bethany Joy Lenz. Michelle later expressed her dislike of going on tour without releasing an album first, and The Wreckers then attempted to release their debut album, Stand Still, Look Pretty...
