The Pretty Reckless: Rock Band in New York

About The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless is a New York City–formed rock band that emerged in 2009, built around vocalist Taylor Momsen with Ben Phillips on guitar, Mark Damon on bass, and Jamie Perkins on drums. Their early releases established a radio-facing hard-rock sound, with songs like “Make Me Wanna Die” and later chart-topping rock singles including “Heaven Knows.” The band’s approach favors direct, riff-driven arrangements and a voice-forward mix over studio gloss. In the New York-area concert circuit, they appear at large-scale rooms such as MetLife Stadium, including dates supporting AC/DC’s Power Up Tour 2026.
