''The Pretty Reckless'' (2009-present) is a alternative rock band created by TaylorMomsen, formerly of GossipGirl.
Their hit songs include "Make Me Wanna Die", "Miss Nothing" and "Just Tonight".

Taylor Momsen spent two years seeking an appropriate producer. She finally picked Kato Khandwala. She picked him because he was not your typical pop producer. Khandwala introduced Momsen to Ben Phillips and the three of them began to write songs together. The band had a couple of line up changes before settling on a final band when they toured with TheVeronicas in 2009 for their Revenge Is Sweeter tour.
