New Album Sells Over 35,000 In First WeekSingle “Heaven Knows” is #1 At Rock Radio For Three Weeks, Heading To Pop Radio

 

Rock is back as The Pretty Reckless’ Going To Hell album debuts at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart with more than 35,000 sold. Led by singer Taylor Momsen, The Pretty Reckless’ single “Heaven Knows” has been the #1 rock song in the country for three weeks and Momsen is the second female singer to top the Mainstream Rock Songs chart in the last 24 years (read more here at Billboard). The song is now crossing to Pop radio and was added this week to the Sirius XM 20 on 20 Channel.

Going To Hell far outperforms the band’s 2011 debut album Light Me Up (via Interscope), which debuted at #65 on the Billboard Top 200 selling 8,686 in the first week.

Razor & Tie Co-Owners Cliff Chenfeld and Craig Balsam comment, “We are beyond thrilled by The Pretty Reckless’ chart success and huge start at radio. Taylor is a rock star and we need more of those. We will be supporting this record for the rest of the year and beyond “ this is just the beginning.”

Manager David Sonenberg of DAS Communications adds, “It’s extremely gratifying to see The Pretty Reckless at #5 on the Album Charts and #1 on the Rock Charts. A lot of hard work from everyone involved and well deserved success for Taylor and the Band.”

Going To Hell was released on March 18th and has garnered praise from press and fans alike. Rolling Stone raves, “This New York band’s brash second album rages with the upbeat, beat-wise humor that hard rock has suppressed ever since grunge. ‘Heaven Knows’ and ‘Why’d You Bring a Shotgun to the Party’ are full-on glam stomps.”

The rebellious video for the “Heaven Knows” has garnered over 3.6 million views since premiering on VEVO

Meanwhile, the music video for the album title track “Going To Hell,” is now over 5 million views.

The Pretty Reckless has supported Evanescence, Guns N’ Roses and Marilyn Manson on tour in addition to headline runs in both the U.S. and abroad. The Pretty Reckless is currently supporting Fall Out Boy on tour in Europe and UK. The band will return to the U.S. next month for an appearance at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards (4/23), preparing them for a busy summer which has the band confirmed to perform at nearly all of the major U.S. rock festivals, including: Rock On the Range, Rocklahoma, Monster Energy’s Fort Rock, Welcome to Rockville, Rock Fest Kansas City, among others.

The Pretty Reckless formed in 2009 and released their debut album Light Me Up in 2010 and a follow-up EP HIT Me Like A Man in 2012. After two years on the road supporting Light Me Up, the band has risen through rock ‘n’ roll’s ranks to become a polarizing presence. Over the course of their debut and EP, the quartet has sold over 1 million combined albums and digital singles. The band is managed by David Sonenberg, William Derella, and Erica Ramon of DAS Communications.

 Southern California rock trio KYNG announce tour dates with co-headliner Kill Devil Hill and supporting act Crobot. The tour kicks off April 28 in Atlanta, GA. The band is currently on the road with Lacuna Coil and supporting acts Eve to Adam and Nothing More.KYNG is touring in support of their new studio album Burn The Serum out on April 15th through Razor & Tie. The album was produced by Andrew Alekel (Foo Fighters, No Doubt, Queens of The Stone Age, Clutch) and James A. Rota (Sound City, Fireball Ministry) and was recorded at Grandmaster Recorders LTD and Sword & Shield in Hollywood, CA as well as at Studio 606 in Northridge, CA. Pre-orders are available now at iTunes HERE and the Merch pre-order is HERE.

Listen to “Electric Halo,”

Listen to “Burn The Serum”

On their second full-length album and first for Razor & Tie, the band harks back to the essence of heavy rock ‘n’ roll, forging thunderous percussion to lightning hot riffs driven by a divine vocal howl. At the same time, they keep their eyes wide open towards the future. KYNG find grandiosity in simplicity. The Los Angeles outfit may only boast three members-Eddie Veliz [vocals/guitar], Pepe Clarke [drums], and Tony Castaneda [bass/backup vocals]—but their collective roar could easily tip the Southern California Richter Scale.

Formed in 2008, KYNG broke out of the City of Angels in 2011 with the group’s independent debut Trampled Sun. The album landed shining critical acclaim for its “California Heavy” sound merging the metallic meanderings of Soundgarden and Queens of the Stone Age with the timeless scope of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. They hit the road with everybody from The Sword and Clutch to Trivium and Megadeth-even being picked to play at Metallica’s first-ever Orion Music + More festival. Loudwire raved, “a hard hitting fusion of rocking goodness,” and Ultimate-Guitar added, “if they keep churning out records as good as Trampled Sun, they will be mentioned right up there with Mastodon and the like.”

Yellowcard has signed to Razor & Tie for a worldwide multi-album deal that will see the release of a new studio album this Fall. Yellowcard will hit the road this summer on the VANS WARPED Tour kicking off on June 13th.

Razor & Tie Co-Owners Cliff Chenfeld and Craig Balsam add, “It’s great to have Yellowcard on Razor & Tie. They make rock the way we like it — with energy, hooks and attitude. They are total pros and we couldn’t be more proud to work with them.”

American pop-rock band Yellowcard has always separated itself with its distinctive sound, featuring a violin, which is unique in the genre. Formed in 1997, Yellowcard has released 8 albums and 3 EPs to date, including the Platinum certified Ocean Avenue and Gold certified Lights and Sounds. Five of the band’s albums have debuted on the Billboard Top 20 and they have sold over 3 million albums and 4 million tracks worldwide.

The band has been featured on the cover of Alternative Press and has been one of the headliners of the Vans Warped Tour four different years. In the past few years they have also toured with All Time Low, The Starting Line, The Wonder Years and many others. Last year the band released Ocean Avenue Acoustic as the 10th anniversary album and played across North America in support to sold out audiences. Evoking emotions that often erupt into massive sing-alongs at live shows, Yellowcard have been riding a crest of positivity with their best-reviewed albums of their career and a huge international fanbase that keeps growing exponentially.
Yellowcard is Ryan Key (Vocals, Guitar), Ryan Mendez (Guitar, Background Vocals), Sean Mackin (Violin, Background Vocals), and Josh Portman (Bass).
