Reckless Love Tickets & Tour Dates 2013

For many, eighties rock bands were either shameless purveyors of joyfully uplifting party anthems or hairspray soaked, spandex wearing lady boys with as much musical depth as Darth Cowell's record collection. Either way, the nineties dawned and the world became serious. The global recession, AIDS and the arrival of grunge significantly changed the musical map, rendering debauched glam metal acts outdated and tasteless. Since then 'hair metal' has thrived in a cult capacity, gaining momentum over the last decade as bands inspired by Motley Crue and their ilk have spread like fire gone wild. Finnish four piece Reckless Love are on a particular mission to resurrect the hedonistic traditions of Los Angeles infamous Sunset Strip, delivering stiletto sharp riffs, bombastic choruses and lascivious lyrics with minimum subtlety. It's as cheesy as Mr McCheese's cheese making factory in cheese land, but also a nice reminder of a carefree time when life wasn't quite so po-faced.

Reckless Love, the colourful Finnish rockers whose second ‘Animal Attraction’ album was released via Spinefarm Records in the autumn of 2011, have confirmed the line-ups for their four residency shows at the London Barfly in October.

Having announced a full UK tour – which includes a residency at London’s Barfly – back in May, Finnish ‘merry metallers’ Reckless Love have confirmed the release of a new eight-song mini-album ahead of the dates for October 1st via Spinefarm Records.
