The
Pretty Reckless, who announced their signing to Century Media Records a
few weeks ago, have dropped the brand new single "Death By Rock And
Roll" today. The song is now available at all DSPs and is the first
taste of new music since 2016's Who You Selling For.

The
track, powered by vocalist Taylor Momsen's throaty, Joplin-invoking
roar and thunderous riffing, is just the jolt the genre — and the world —
needs.
"In
a lot of ways, this new album feels like a rebirth and our first
single, 'Death by Rock And Roll,' represents that salvation that my
favorite music brings me," says Momsen. "Rock is freedom and this song
is about living life the way you want, and now that belongs to everyone
who listens."
The
Pretty Reckless formed in New York City during 2008, and the musicians
and late producer Kato Khandwala initially made waves with their 2010
debut Light Me Up. After countless gigs, the band returned with Going To
Hell in 2014. Not only did the record crash the Top 5 of the Billboard
Top 200, but it also ignited three #1 hits —the gold-certified "Heaven
Knows" (the biggest rock song of 2014), "Fucked Up World," and "Follow
Me Down"— a feat that had not been accomplished by a female-fronted
group since The Pretenders in 1984. Meanwhile, their third offering, Who
You Selling For, saw them return to #1 on the Mainstream Rock Songs
Chart
with "Take Me Down," which cemented them as "the first band to send its
first four singles to #1 on the chart," according to Billboard. Praise
followed from Vogue, Nylon, and more as the quartet lit up television
shows such as Letterman and Conan. With over half-a-billion streams,
they headlined countless sold out shows and toured with Guns N' Roses
and -many other heavy hitters.
