Description
The Pretty Reckless gave rock ‘n’ roll the jumpstart it needed for a new generation, but they did so entirely on their own terms. Since 2008, they have emerged as the rare force of nature who can appear in INTERVIEW Magazine, Nylon, ELLE, Good Morning America and Entertainment Tonight — and share a stage with Guns N’ Roses and Soundgarden. Joined by late producer Kato Khandwala, they fanned this flame on Light Me Up [2010] and Going To Hell [2014]. The latter housed three #1 smashes—the platinum-certified “Heaven Knows” (the biggest rock song of 2014), “Fucked Up World,” and “Follow Me Down. In the wake of 2016’s Who You Selling For, “Take Me Down” vaulted to #1 on the Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, enshrining them as "the first band to send its first four singles to #1 on the chart," according to Billboard. During 2021, Death By Rock and Roll elevated them to rarified air. With its impact, the four-piece carved out a place in history as “the first female-fronted band to have back-to-back No. 1 singles at the active rock format” and “the first female-fronted act to have seven No. 1 singles on the Billboard Rock Radio Chart.” Beyond acclaim from V Magazine, Spin, and more, it bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart. It also notably boasted collaborations with legends such as Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil on “Only Love Can Save Me Now” and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello on “And So It Went.” This boundlessness drives Other Worlds [Fearless Records] where they deliver their first proper acoustic recordings, unexpected covers, and other reimaginings, covering new territory once more.
