The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless land at Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow on 3 December 2026. Built around singer and guitarist Taylor Momsen, the New York quartet — with Ben Phillips on guitar, Mark Damon on bass and Jamie Perkins on drums — mixes hard rock weight, post‑grunge textures and a classic rock backbone with a dark, straightforward edge. From the debut Light Me Up in 2010, the band set a tone of heavy riffs and direct hooks, paired with lyrics that circle disillusionment, faith and desire.

Going to Hell (2014) and Who You Selling For (2016) opened a more bluesy lane without losing their punch, sharpening a sound that travels easily from raw to melodic. In 2021, Death by Rock and Roll brought a more introspective thread, marked by loss and survival, while keeping choruses built to stick. On stage, the focus stays on Momsen’s grainy voice and the guitar dialogue with Phillips, shifting between brooding mid‑tempos and tougher anthems.

Expect a set that draws across their catalogue, from early standouts to the latest tracks, with tight rhythm work and a tone that nods to 70s rock as much as to the grunge era. A straight-ahead rock show, carried by songs that hit fast and leave room for slow-burn moments.
