The Pretty Reckless is a New York City hard-rock band formed in 2008 and fronted by vocalist and guitarist Taylor Momsen. Their music blends hard rock with grunge and heavy-metal weight, with a catalog that includes the albums Light Me Up, Going to Hell, Death by Rock and Roll, and the 2026 release Dear God. Signature songs such as “Make Me Wanna Die,” “Heaven Knows,” “Take Me Down,” and “Death by Rock and Roll” helped the group set a record for the most No. 1 rock-radio songs by a female-fronted act. Their forceful live performances and stadium dates with AC/DC have established The Pretty Reckless as a leading modern rock band.
