Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (from The Mars Volta)
Megaritual

Very nicely altered image.

Break's over!
Back to work:

 

[alan]

A song on this album is being used to benefit a controversial organization that you probably aren't fond of. Too bad, the band's front has been one of my favorite rock people since the late 70's.

 

[alan]

Another note on the front-person, she is the only original member of the band.
They made Billboard's top 40 with this album, they haven't done that for over 20 years.

 

[alan]

The singer started out in the States in Ohio and now lives in London, England. I'm sure she has a place here so she can go back to Ohio when she wants to.

Pretenders, Break Up the Concrete

 

[snakewispera snr]

Looks like you got it.... Nice one....
DYK.... I'm hoping to get another one one day.....

 

[ZoologyGirl]

let me try to wrangle something up quick...

 

[ZoologyGirl]

This one might need hints eventually...but here goes...

 

[ZoologyGirl]

I guess to narrow your search right off the bat I'll let you all know this is a newly formed band...formed in the 2000's.

 

[ZoologyGirl]

The band shares it's name with a rare and valuable motorcycle...all of which were hand assembled...I believe they [the motorcycles] were from around the 50's or 60's.

 

[ZoologyGirl]

The singer of this band is female...and she once worked for EA games as a tester.

 

[HoosierHerper]

THE VINCENT BLACK SHADOW!!!!!!!!!

 

[HoosierHerper]

OH ya...Fears In The Water is the album name....how does this work? Do I go now?

 

[snakewispera snr]

OH ya...Fears In The Water is the album name....how does this work? Do I go now?

If it's a positive ID on the album...... Yes, you get to post one....

 

[HoosierHerper]

Well, it's def. the right album...I wikipedia'd it to make sure...hmm...now I gots to think....

 

[HoosierHerper]

Era: 2000's

1st Hint: The first time I heard one of their songs was on an EA Sports game.
