The Sundays were a British alternative rock band formed in Reading in 1987, known for their ethereal sound and Harriet Wheeler's distinctive, melancholic vocals. The band achieved critical acclaim and commercial success throughout the late 1980s and 1990s with albums like "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic" and "Blind," blending indie rock with atmospheric production. Though they disbanded in 1997 before reuniting for occasional performances, The Sundays remain influential figures in the alternative music scene.
