THE PRETTY RECKLESS

Let's talk about music shall we?

I have a new band obsession. At first I was a little skeptical of this band because of the lead singer Taylor Momsen. After listening to their songs for awhile, the band is not that bad. Actually, Taylor Momsen has a nice voice. Well if you haven't guessed the band yet, it's The Pretty Reckless. The Pretty Reckless is alternative rock band that was formed in 2009 and it's fronted by Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen. I'm a big fan of Gossip Girl and Momsen but at first I was unsure about her singing career. At first on Gossip Girl, her character was sweet, innocent and naive and all of a sudden she turned into this hardcore punk rock, Joan Jett wannabe. With super long locks and dark eye makeup. I think that change was a personal one and she was only trying to be herself. Which is good. But the change was very sudden. The lead single from their self-titled EP- "Make Me Wanna Die" is really excellent. The song is filled with guitar riffs, a killer chorus and filled with teen angst together. Momsen's voice sounds very serious and filled with a "kick-ass" type of sound. All in all, Taylor Momsen is not a poser. She is the real deal. Not like those other actress turned singer types. The Pretty Reckless' debut album is going to released sometime in August but if you are interested in this band's music you can check out their EP on Itunes.
