The Pretty Reckless have released their brand new single ‘And So It Went’. The new track is set to appear on the bands upcoming album ‘Death By Rock And Roll’, and features Prophets Of Rage’s Tom Morello.
Talking about the new track Taylor Momsen said “The world has been in such a state of civil unrest,” Going on to add that “‘And So It Went’ basically comes from that vision. As a songwriter, I feel like I’m not here to preach. I use music to observe and communicate what I see around me. This song felt like the perfect storm for Tom Morello to join in and rip the sound waves apart with his guitar. It was more than a pleasure having him add his unique and defining sound to the song.”
The new track joins the band’s previously released singles ’25’, ‘Death By Rock And Roll’, and the short ‘Broomsticks’. Check out the new single below.

The new album will be the first from the band to be made without long-time producer Kato Khandwala, who sadly died back in April 2018 in a motorcycle accident. The new album will also see the band working with Soundgardens Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil, as well as Rage Against The Machine/Prophets Of Rage’s Tom Morello.
Talking to Forbes, Taylor Momsen said “We worked really hard on this album and we went through a lot of loss, a lot of tragedy, and we really poured our hearts and souls into it and in a way I can’t express verbally. It’s all there in the music, so that’s why I say it feels like a rebirth. It almost feels like the first record in a sense, because we really had to go back to the beginning after losing Kato, our producer. I’m just really excited for people to hear it because, in my opinion, it’s the best album we’ve ever made so it’s hard to sit on this music.”
Adding “We talked about holding the song ‘Death By Rock And Roll’ for longer too, and I was, like, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t just sit on this album forever.’ The world needs music and music has such a healing thing to it, and it saved my life, time and time again. If we put out a song and if it can put a smile on some people’s faces, great, we’ll take it from there. That’s kind of what we’re doing — we’re riding the wave. This is just such an unprecedented time so we’re trying to take it step by step, and see where things go. Everything is still up in the air, but we are planning on releasing more singles before the full album is out. There’s going to be more music to come.”
