The Pretty Reckless Reveals New Album ‘Dear God’ and Punk-Influenced Single ‘When I …’

New York-based rock band The Pretty Reckless recently announced the release of their upcoming album, “Dear God,” scheduled for June 26th, 2026, through Fearless Records. The album, containing 14 tracks, marks their first release in five years and embodies a new era of creativity for the group. “Dear God” promises to be emotionally raw and authentic, focusing on personal storytelling and honest songwriting.

Lead single “When I Wake Up” introduces this new chapter for The Pretty Reckless, featuring intense guitar riffs and a punk-inspired energy that merges the band’s signature sound with Taylor Momsen’s distinct vocals. The track strikes a balance between high-energy rock and emotional depth, a characteristic trait of the band’s music.

Momsen describes the song as a reflection of the consequences of a life consumed by excess, leading to an inevitable crash that is often unseen until it’s too late. Despite the dark undertones, she conveys that it’s all part of the experience and still a “good time.”

Since their emergence in the early 2010s, The Pretty Reckless has solidified their position as a prominent force in modern rock, with multiple chart-topping singles and performances alongside renowned artists like Soundgarden and Guns N’ Roses. Their previous album, “Death By Rock And Roll,” further established their reputation for powerful riffs and poignant songwriting.

The band is set to perform at this year’s Download Festival before embarking on a UK tour in November, including iconic venues such as O2 Academy Brixton in London. With their return to the stage and new music on the horizon, The Pretty Reckless is poised to enter a dynamic phase of their career.

The UK tour dates are as follows:
– November 26th: Bristol – The Prospect Building
– November 27th: Wolverhampton – Wolverhampton Civic Hall
– November 29th: Manchester – O2 Victoria Warehouse
– December 1st: London – O2 Academy Brixton
– December 3rd: Glasgow – Barrowland Ballroom

With a renewed sense of creativity and a tour planned for the autumn, The Pretty Reckless is gearing up to deliver an electrifying and heartfelt musical experience for their fans across the UK.
