With great honour, Century Media Records announces signing American Alternative Rock act,
The Pretty Reckless, for outside the USA.
“When we first heard the new album, ‘Death By Rock And Roll’,
we were very excited”, said David Sonenberg, manager of The Pretty
Reckless. “We couldn’t wait to play it to record labels. We took a ton
of meetings and received offers from a
broad range of labels. But it quickly became apparent that Century
Media was the right partner for us. They shared our passion and
enthusiasm for what we believe will be a breakthrough album for The
Pretty Reckless. So, here’s to our new partnership with Century
Media! And long live Rock and Roll!!!”
Philipp Schulte, Label Manager Century Media Records: “We are stoked to
announce the signing of The Pretty Reckless for a worldwide partnership
outside the USA. When we started talking to the band’s management, it
instantly became clear we all shared a common
vision for The Pretty Reckless, and it felt natural to partner up and
make this vision become reality. ‘Death By Rock And Roll’ isn’t only a
fantastic album, but a storm warning, announcing the return of stadium
rock! Welcome to Century Media Records!”
Since forming in 2009, The Pretty Reckless
has quietly made history. Sold out shows, Gold albums, and fiercely
claiming their place at the forefront of modern rock music. The group’s
2010 debut, ‘Light Me Up’, ignited this rise.
It was 2014’s ‘Going to Hell’ however, that set the whole genre ablaze.
It debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200, spawning three #1
hits—the gold-certified “Heaven Knows” (the biggest rock song of 2014),
“Fucked Up World,” and “Follow Me Down” — a
feat that had not been accomplished by a female-fronted group since The
Pretenders in 1984. Their third opus ‘Who You Selling For’ boasted a
diverse set of standout tracks, including “Oh My God”, ” Back To The
River”, and “Take Me Down”. It also garnered praise
from Vogue, Nylon, and Billboard. Along the way, the group toured with
the likes of Soundgarden and Guns N’ Roses and tallied half-a-billion
streams. They maintain their place as rock outliers and leaders in 2020.
More details about album number four ‘Death By Rock And Roll’ will be revealed soon!
