The Pretty Reckless at The Stage AE

The Pretty Reckless made their debut more than ten years ago with the single, “Make Me Wanna Die.” The band’s frontwoman Taylor Momsen was only 16, but she already displayed powerful vocals beyond her years. Their songs from the debut album, Light Me Up, were reminiscent of ’90s grunge rock, and Momsen’s personal influences like Nirvana, Joan Jett, and Led Zepellin can be heard through her exemplary vocal work. The debut album performed moderately well on the U.S. charts. However, it was a stellar success in the U.K., peaking at number 6 on the mainstream charts. The record was preceded by singles, “Make Me Wanna Die,” “Miss Nothing,” and “Just Tonight.”

The band’s second album, Going to Hell, was released in 2014 and displayed a more hard rock sound. The highly-acclaimed record peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200, number 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums, and number 2 on the Top Rock Albums chart. Going to Hell spawned the number 1 hit singles, “Follow Me Down,” “Heaven Knows,” and “Messed Up World.”

The Pretty Reckless continued their number 1 Mainstream Rock streak upon the release of their 2016 single, “Take Me Down,” which was featured in their third studio effort, Who You Selling For. Later, the band released their follow-up singles, “Oh My God” and “Back to the River,” featuring Warren Haynes. In 2020, the band dropped their latest album, Death By Rock and Roll. The record was preceded by three number 1 rock anthems, “Death by Rock and Roll,” “And So It Went,” featuring Tom Morello, and “Only Love Can Save Me Now,” performed with Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron.
