Oh boy, are you guys ready for some acoustic greatness? 🤯 I just got my hands on the video of THE PRETTY RECKLESS’s entire July 1 acoustic performance at Amoeba Records in Hollywood, California, and I’m still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor. I mean, who needs electric guitars when you can strips things down and still manage to blow the roof off? 🤘
The Setlist of Dreams
The band’s setlist was a masterclass in pretty much everything:
01. Going To Hell
02. Make Me Wanna Die
03. Harley Darling
04. When I Wake Up
05. For I Am Death
06. About You
07. (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding (Brinsley Schwarz cover)
I mean, can you even ask for more? It’s like they knew exactly what the people wanted and delivered it with a side of awesomeness.
But let’s get real for a second, their fifth studio album “Dear God” dropped on June 26 via Fearless Records, and it’s been making waves ever since. I’m not saying it’s the best thing since sliced bread, but… actually, who am I kidding? It’s totally the best thing since sliced bread.
A Little Background
This past April, the band released the single “Love Me”, which was charged with intensity, grit, and edge – because, you know, that’s exactly what we needed more of in our lives. And let’s not forget the previous single “When I Wake Up” that entered at No. 10 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart, because chart-topping is what they do best. The album’s lead single, “For I Am Death”, became THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘s eighth Mainstream Rock Radio No. 1, and honestly, it’s not like we’re surprised or anything.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, “Dear God” is kind of a big deal. It leans further into vulnerability and creative freedom, shaping one of the band’s most raw and uncompromising releases to date. Written with diaristic honesty, the record captures THE PRETTY RECKLESS at their most unfiltered, and it’s a beautiful thing.
But, you know, they’re not just stopping at the album. Oh no, THE PRETTY RECKLESS is bringing its electrifying stage performance to fans across the world with their all-new headlining “Dear God” tour. Because who doesn’t love a good tour, right? This tour follows their incredible two-year long trek across the globe alongside AC/DC on the “Power Up” tour, and let’s be real, they’re probably going to break some hearts (and some guitars) along the way.
And because they’re just that cool, THE PRETTY RECKLESS had a remarkable 12 months, which included an acclaimed performance at the prestigious 2026 MusiCares Person Of The Year Gala, where singer Taylor Momsen honored the legendary Mariah Carey alongside the FOO FIGHTERS. I mean, talk about a lineup, right? They also performed at the 2025 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame where Taylor performed with SOUNDGARDEN for their induction, because why not?
Oh, and let’s not forget their holiday EP “Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas”, which features the revamped “Where Are You Christmas?” that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. I guess you could say they’re kind of a big deal, even during the holidays.
In conclusion, if you haven’t checked out THE PRETTY RECKLESS yet, what’s wrong with you? 🤷♀️ Go watch their acoustic performance, listen to their album, and try to keep up with their tour schedule. Your ears (and your heart) will thank you. 🤘
