Interscope Records recording artist The Pretty Reckless are back with ‘Hit Me Like a Man and a six week headline tour. The band has also been announced as the opening act on Marilyn Manson’s “Hey Cruel World Tour.”

The Pretty Reckless is fronted by vocalist Taylor Momsen, and features guitarist Ben Phillips, bassist Mark Damon, and drummer Jamie Perkins. The new album was produced by Kato Khandwala, and includes live renditions of “Make Me Wanna Die” and “Since You're Gone” which were recorded at London’s Hammersmith Appollo on November 4 & 5, 2011.

The tracks originally appeared on The Pretty Reckless’ debut full length, ‘Light Me Up’ which The New York Times called “salacious, convincingly muscular, and unnervingly rowdy.” 

'Hit Me Like a Man’ includes three new tracks; “Under The Water,” “Cold Blooded,” in addition to the title track.
