Proud! This is our feeling right now.

After spending a record-tying week at No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Songs for five weeks with their current hit single “Heaven Knows”, The Pretty Reckless came to the sixth consecutive week at No. 1, certified by Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart. The band’s reign ties Joan Jett & The Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” (which had five weeks since 1981) for the longest for a song with female lead vocals in the chart’s 32 year history.

Congratulations to the band!

The Pretty Reckless was announced for two new music festivals this June.

• The band is performing at Tail Creek Mud & Music Festival in Alberta, Canada between June 27-29. Tickets are now in presale, click here to details.

This week they tied Joan Jett’s 32 year old record for the longest running #1 song on the rock charts by a female vocalist. “Heaven Knows” is currently holding down a five week run, which hasn’t happened since a little song called “I Love Rock and Roll” did it back in 1982.

Taylor and Ben, who have Maine and NH ties, stopped by the studio today to chat and perform. We discussed Taylor’s decision to leave the acting business for music, Ben’s early days of performing in Portland, and what’s up for the band in 2014.
