I wanted to tell you about an experience I just had. The last time I felt I badly needed to review a new release, it was 2000 and the release of "The Sickness" from Disturbed. This time I feel that same need to review "Death by Rock and Roll" by The Pretty Reckless. It's funny, I have been in contact with our esteemed Editor, R. Scott Bolton, and he expressed the same feeling: "How did we miss this band?" Two tracks have been released on YouTube, the title track and "25," both of which simply kick ass. The new album is due on February 12th but that's not soon enough for me. I want to hear this album now and, when this fucking COVID-19 dies off, I want to see this band live. Check out "Death by Rock and Roll" and "25" on YouTube and see if you disagree ...
