The Pretty Reckless announce new album ‘Dear God’ with thrashy single ‘When I Wake Up’ and details of 2026 UK, European and North American tour

The Pretty Reckless have announced their new album ‘Dear God’ with the thrashy lead single ‘When I Wake Up’ – listen below.

The New York band, led by Taylor Momsen, will release their fifth studio album via Fearless Records on June 26 and you can pre-order your copy here.

The record will include their 2025 single ‘For I Am Death’, and now they have shared the latest teaser in the form of the ‘When I Wake Up’ single, a raw, punk flavoured slice of powerhouse alt-rock.

The band have also announced details of an extensive tour that will take in North America, Europe and the UK throughout the second half of 2026. See all of the dates and ticket information below.

Speaking about the new single, Momsen has said: “‘When I Wake Up’ is the story of a dream becoming a nightmare. When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it. It’s a good time…”
