Personally, I am not a fan of “jenny’s” emo behavior, her use of way too much eyeliner (reminds me of the Ellen commercial for AMEX with the raccoon) and the depressing songs ( my playlist is purely GLEE hits!) but NYLON and Pumacity think otherwise (and the bands many many fans!!) So, they are hosting a party at the Puma Social Club next Tuesday (hopefully there will not be a repeat of the Hanson+ Drake debacle!) – DJ Josh Madden will be spinning the ill tunes – all you need to do is RSVP to pumacity@nylonmag.com by Monday 5pm and you are all set to emo out with the band too!
LISTEN:Taylor Momsen’s Debut EP

Like her overambitious and wayward onscreen persona Jenny Humphrey, Gossip Girl‘s sixteen-year-old star Taylor Momsen definitely has more than a bit of rock star in her.
The self-titled, four-track debut EP from her band the Pretty Reckless is now streaming on Billboard.com. The EP is officially out June 22. Listen now!
We reviewed their debut set at NYC club Annex last year, and also their appearance at Bamboozle in May. You’d think it’d be hard to take a pubescent actress in a teen drama about gossip bloggers and Upper East Side “queen bees” seriously as a musician, but the music is making it pretty hard not to.
Lead single “Make Me Wanna Die” is a snarly, Courtney Love-esque rock song, with some pretty hard guitar riffs. And “My Medicine” is an EP-standout, perfect parts pop and alt-rock.
“Hey there father, I don’t want to bother you, but I got a sin to confess,” she sings on “Goin’ Down.” “I’m just 16 if you know what I mean, do you mind if I take off my dress?” Well, you’re sixteen, so yes, to avoid a lawsuit, we would mind.
