Reckless Love is a Finnish glam metal band, formed in 2001, from Kuopio. Band's debut album Reckless Love(album) was published on 24 February 2010.
History
The band started its career in the spring of 2001 as a cover band under the name "Reckless Life ", which is also known as a song from Guns N' Roses. Playing cover songs was not what the band wanted to do so they started making their own songs.
Three Reckless Love -members are having a classical music background; the vocalist Olli, guitarist Pepe and the bassist Jalle Verne, who played in the Haapaniemi youth brass band in Kuopio.
In 2005 Kuopio was chosen to be the Popcity of the year in Finland and Reckless Love got to be a part of the Popcity -project. The project was planned to help local bands in their careers and to get international exposure. There were three more bands in the project; Rainbowcrash, Svat and Sideshow Zombies. Reckless Love made a mini tour called "Scandinavian Tour" with Steel Frank (also from Kuopio) in the end of the July 2005. The tour took the band to Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
After active touring for couple of years all around Finland Reckless Love's vocalist Olli Herman (as know as H. Olliver Twisted) joined in Swedish sleaze rock band Crashdïet to take the place of the late Crashdïet vocalist Dave Lepard who sadly ended up in suicide in year 2006. Crashdïet released an album "The Unattractive Revolution" and made an European tour. About one and a half years later, 13 July 2008, the band told on their website that Olli Herman has left the band, because he can not fully work in two bands.
In January 2009 Reckless Love told on their website that their drummer Mike Harley has left the band. In less than a week they had new drummer Hessu Maxx. The band underwent the change as a significant step in their musical development.
Reckless Love made a record contract with Universal Music 23 April 2009. They published their first official single, "One More Time", 8 June 2009. YleX radio station played the single in their Rytmibarometri section 9th July 2009. "One More Time" got in the YleX Himotuimmat list in week 25 by reaching the second place in the list in 15 August.
The second single is "Beautiful Bomb" and it was published 15th October 2009. The music video was filmed in 3rd October.
