This week, The Pretty Reckless kick off a co-headline tour with Halestorm and support from label mates Starset. Rolling Stone described the tour as "two of hard rock's most recognizable and dynamic female voices, each breaking down barriers in the male-dominated genre." Tour dates below.

Going To Hell was released on March 18th 2014 and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and has sold over 168,000 to date in the United States. Combined single sales exceed 529,000.
