Grunge music has somewhat gotten lost amongst the other genres. We are not blaming alternative rock or pop music for its depletion. We put the fault on those bands who were unable to harness the rugged and soulful sound of Nirvana.

Amongst all the Kurt Cobain posers, we were able to find a young and refreshing artist who could stand pretty close to Cobain’s throne. Taylor Momsen’s band, Pretty Reckless, made their mark on the fleeting grunge scene with their debut, Light Me Up. The fearless band has just unlocked the door to the grunge world, so we have got to say that their album could very well become iconic.

We want your hands all over this legendary album, so we are going to give away a copy of Light Me Up. Oh, and we should probably tell you it is autographed. In honor of the band’s name, we want you to give us a little tale about the most rebellious thing you have done. Let us get to know you Shockya readers a little bit better. Have you gone skydiving or cliff diving or lived in a cave with bears? I am sure you get what we are going for. We do have two rules you must abide by in order to win. Keep the stories at 300 words and get them to us by April 25th!

Post your tale in the comments section of this article and e-mail your submission to shockyapr@gmail.com.
