With a set list full of fantastic tunes filled with upbeat vibes and grief from their albums, Light Me Up, Going to Hell, Who You Selling For, and their latest offering Death By Rock and Roll, the band push boundaries by formulating a new direction with rock and roll.

The guitarist Ben Phillips chimed in, sharing vocals on 'Sweet Thing' with bluesy-like vocals that were utterly captivating. The electric tones on the track provided such an ambiance alongside harmonies with Taylor.

She has punchy and airy vocals that fill up the room and fit perfectly with the hard rock anthems the band created. There is a great mixture of tracks for there to be something for everyone. Their captivating lyrics, beautiful melodies, and screeching guitars, showcase that The Pretty Reckless truly offer a lot with their music.

The foot stomping track was heavy, loud, and overall a great end to the fantastic show that will be etched in the memories of all attendees. The Pretty Reckless made their stamp in Ireland.
