Tragic Kingdom Presents: The Pretty Reckless Videography

From jaw-dropping goth rock to over-synthed pop beats and honky tonk country crooning to piano-driven rock hooks, it’s no secret that my musical influences have ranged all over the map this year. But when I introduced The Pretty Reckless last month, it was clear that I had inducted a new staple into the Tragic Kingdom family. Much like the inspiration for this blog, Light Me Up is an inspirational album from front to back. With Taylor Momsen leading the charge, the band delivers one of the most relevant albums of the year.

But the question remains, why hasn’t America – the place where Momsen holds a lead spot on one of the country’s biggest teen dramas – caught on to this powerful new band? One would guess that the sugary sweet, and most of the time talentless, actress-turned-singer wannabes before her would provide the answer. But with more than 5 million fans all over the globe, it’s only a matter of time before this band goes from ‘on the fringe’ to certified smash.

Still not convinced? Take a look at any of these videos featuring Momsen & Co. delivering their biggest hits from the disc. Seriously, I dare you push play and be swayed.
