Story of The Pretty Reckless
The Pretty Reckless: A Rock Force to Be Reckoned With
The Pretty Reckless, a hard-hitting rock band from the heart of New York City, burst onto the scene in 2009, bringing a raw and energetic sound. Fronted by the captivating Taylor Momsen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), the band is rounded out by the talents of Ben Phillips (lead guitar, backing vocals), Mark Damon (bass), and Jamie Perkins (drums).
Their debut album, Light Me Up (2010), ignited the rock world with its edgy anthems. The album's breakout single, "Make Me Wanna Die," solidified their presence and established them as a force to be reckoned with. They followed up with the Hit Me Like a Man EP (2012), showcasing their continued evolution and raw power.
The Pretty Reckless hit their stride with their sophomore album, Going to Hell (2014). The album's anthems, "Heaven Knows" and "Messed Up World," reigned supreme on both the US and UK rock charts, solidifying their international appeal.
In 2016, Who You Selling For continued their reign, featuring the hit single "Take Me Down," which marked their fourth number one on the US rock charts. The band's relentless drive and talent were on full display in their fourth studio album, Death by Rock and Roll, released in 2021. With its lead single, "Death by Rock and Roll," reaching the top of the Mainstream Rock chart, the Pretty Reckless made history as the first female-fronted band to boast seven number one singles.
The Pretty Reckless continue to push boundaries and dominate the rock scene with their fearless attitude and electrifying performances. Their music speaks to a generation yearning for authenticity, raw energy, and a touch of rebellion, proving that The Pretty Reckless are not just a band, but a force to be reckoned with.
