About

The Pretty Reckless are back with their extraordinary third studio album Who You Selling For. The new album is the band’s anticipated follow up to Going To Hell, which spawned the biggest rock song of 2014 in “Heaven Knows.” Produced by longtime collaborator Kato Khandwala, Who You Selling For is an arresting collection of rock tunes that expand the band’s sound to encompass soulful, bluesy undertones, written by frontwoman Taylor Momsen and guitarist Ben Phillips. This raucous 12-track collection puts Momsen’s dark lyrics and raw, charismatic vocals on full display while the band delivers at full intensity with a level of musicianship that raises the bar.

With Who You Selling For the band continues to take bold steps forward, cementing their place at the forefront of rock. The deeply personal album features a diverse set of standout tracks, from the blistering hard rock of “Oh My God” to the classic southern rock of “Back to the River”. Lead single Take Me Down” features Taylor’s distinctively smoky voice rolling over ‘60s–tinged rock guitar.

Formed in 2009, The Pretty Reckless released their debut album Light Me Up in 2010 and scored legions of fans worldwide, but it was their sophomore record Going to Hell that positioned the band to become the first new artist to breakout of rock in years, debuting in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Top 200.  Achieving three No. 1 Rock hits - “Heaven Knows,” “Fucked Up World” and “Follow Me Down”- was a feat that has not been accomplished by a female fronted group since The Pretenders in 1984, nearly a quarter of a century ago.

    I Love Taylor Momsen Even More

    by momsenfan93 on 2014-10-30The Sound Academy - Toronto, Ontario

    She put on an incredible show tonight. I was confident that the concert was going to be spectacular, but I expected her to be better on records rather than live. I was wrong; she was much better in person than on records. She was so hot, and her stage presence was incredible. Adelita's Way and Crash Midnight were excellent opening acts, and I hope to check their music out somewhere down the line. The only curveball I have throw though is the venue. I strongly dislike The Sound Academy. I was dissatisfied at the fact that there was no seating, but Taylor made the venue bearable for me. If it had been any other artist, I wouldn't have gone. This just goes to show Taylor Momsen is worth it. I love this girl so much.

    Pretty Reckless = Pretty short performance!

    by PixieWitch on 2013-10-20RIO Theatre on BROADWAY - Vancouver

    Support band - Heaven's Basement were quite good. I wasn't sure I'd like them when they first started but they seemed to get better as they went on, Lead singer very charismatic and really worked the crowd well. Lead guitarist spent rather too much time trying to prove that he could "play" his guitar in any possible position around his body, which sort of detracted from the performance - made it a bit "Spinal Tap". HB played a good length set for a support band - 45 mins. Pretty Reckless were good, she has a fab voice , as does the other guy who sings. Music was good. Light show was good. Lead singers "dancing" didn't really add to the performance - seemed really uncoordinated!!! Length of performance for the main band (PR) was very poor - they didn't play for any longer than the support band- 45 mins. Not good value for money and not impressed.

    Taylor was perfect, as I expected, great voice. The surprise was the opening act, 'heavens basement' I had never heard of them before but they were great, lots of energy, good songs.

    Good show

    by commandercandy on 2013-10-19RIO Theatre on BROADWAY - Vancouver

    Great live music, but a very short show. The openers played for the same amount of time.

    But... They really didn't play long enough. The last time they came to Montreal at la Tulipe venue was a lot better and longer!! Also the sound was horrible...

    Pretty Reckless stir up Winnipeg fans

    by tarryrob on 2012-03-31West End Cultural Centre - Winnipeg

    The Pretty Reckless, fronted by “Gossip Girl” Taylor Momsen, made their Winnipeg debut at the West End Cultural Centre last night (3/26/12). My teenager daughter is a huge fan of the popular TV show, so I gifted her VIP tickets to meet and greet with the band’s celebrity actress/model turned rock singer. The meet and greet was held prior to the show, and, though it felt a bit perfunctory it was well organized; pics with the band were take taken, posters autographed, making my daughter happy as a clam. Shedding her street attire for torn, knee high black lace stockings, black leather jacket and a white t-shirt, which doubled as a mini dress with the face of Blondie singer Deborah Harry emblazoned on the front, Momsen and company took the stage, kicking the night off with the title track from their 2012 E.P. “Hit Me Like A Man.” Using few stage trappings other than the NewYork alt rockers’ backdrop, enscribed with the band’s logo, the spotlight focused on Momsen – and rightfully so. The stripped down stage suited their raw raunchy sound, highlighted by Momsen’s sultry vocals and burlesque meets neo-punk style stage moves. The primarily tween to early 20-something fans were on their feet from the opening number, and knew all the words to all the songs, which made the ex-“Gossip Girl’s” job much easier. Overcoming a few minor sound problems early on, Momsen prowled the front of the stage, using her long blond hair like a stage prop a la early Alanis Morisette, enciting fans as the band plunged into “Since You’ve Been Gone” from their 2010 debut album Light Me Up, followed by “Zombie” from the band’s self-titled 2010 EP. The band, consisting of Ben Phillips (lead guitar, backing vocals), Mark Damon (bass) and Jamie Perkins (drums), were solid enough musicians, but clearly the show belonged to Momsen. Demonstrating veteran fronting abilities that belied her youthful age (18-years old), and experience, Momson handled fan exuberance, which included plenty of F-bombs, and crys of “We’re gay for you Taylor Momsen!” – in stride. Though the 12-song set was a bit brief at just under 1 ½ hr, the band had the crowd eating out of their hands by mid-set, having already performed their hit singles “Miss Nothing” and “Just Tonight.” After churning out a System of Down cover (Aerials), Pretty Reckless moved into the home stretch, with 4 tracks from Light Me Up, the 4-chord jangler “My Medicine,” their debut single “Make Me Wanna Die,” and “Factory Girl,” before encoring with the acoustic ballad “Nothing Left to Lose,” which had fans singing at the top of their lungs with cell phones waving in the air en masse. Red Bank, NJ quintet Parlor Mob and Nashville, TN pop rockers The Hollywood Kills were both surprisingly good in the warm up slot, and did a killer job of engaging the crowd and setting the mood for the night.
