After two singles (One More Time, Beautiful Bomb) the band is ready to release it's much anticipated debut album early 2010.
---
Kuopio, Finland isn't exactly Hicksville, Indiana and Helsinki sure ain't no West Hollywood but with Reckless Love the analogies are obvious. This bunch of rockers dropped out of school, moved to Helsinki and chose to scrape by whatever menial jobs available to chase their rock n' roll dreams. Having scored a recording deal with a major label, Universal Music, as the 2nd glam rock band during the last decade or so, Reckless Love show that, if nothing else, the guys master whatever lessons they've ever taken in the subject of hard rock.
Reckless Love's debut album features a plethora of influences audible to the listener, and as knowledgeable as the band seems to be of its musical roots, it's their own take on hard rock that makes the album so extremely exciting. Sure, hard life can teach you stuff, but in Reckless Love's case it has taught them to teach people stuff. The lesson here is: there's not a whole lot crap that cant' be healed with a good song and a smile. And because the songs are so good, smile you will - after you get a load of this. Reckless Love extends sonic hails to the greats of hard rock ranging from Kiss to Van Halen to W.A.S.P. to Warrant to Poison to Guns N' Roses and everything in between, with a heartwarming, sunny disposition able to melt the gloomiest of cynics.
The party starts with Beautiful Bomb, One More Time, Love Machine, So Yeah!!, Feel My Heat and Born To Rock. With subject matter dealing dominantly with the over-enhanced sexuality of a young straight male (i.e. women, or the lack thereof), the songs have a boisterous, energetic, fun, freewheeling party attitude, combined with swaggering, outrageous and sometimes, downright silly lyrics. It's all packed in a top-notch modern, yet adequately retro sound that strongly reflects classic 80's hair metal heroes. Not reducing to a one trick pony, the album also has it's darker, rawer, heavy metal side. Aggressive and theatrical Wild Touch, Badass and Romance have a rowdy, rebellious bite to them. Iced with slick choirs, these cuts include heavy guitar rifforama and some of vocalist Olli Herman's nastiest Vince Neil snarls. This is where the band's Judas Priest, Ozzy, WASP and Ratt influences shine. The album also contains the super slick ballad Sex, which gives away the fact that under the disguise of hell-raising party animal machismo lie sensitive guys wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Predominantly guitar driven, melodic and beautiful the album also portrays the band's classy touch to keyboard arrangements. Featuring the whole arsenal: big choirs, clean high vocals and fragile single voice melodies, almost whispering at times, vocally the album is a wonder to behold, and in what might come as a surprise, the band can also display a striking lyrical depth, almost coming down to philosophical level in Back To Paradise.
While maybe dropouts in regular school, there's not a page in the book of hard rock these guys haven't taken to heart. In the hair metal school tables turn and Reckless Love are the teachers. And the class will only be dismissed once thoroughly entertained.
Reckless Love‘s released 'InVader' in 2016. Their next album 'Turborider' is due via AFM Records on February 25, 2022.
In Jan 2024, Reckless Love have announced that they are taking a break from touring and recording until further notice given that lead vocalist Olli Herman is now part of the Finnish rockers Popeda. Reckless Love consisting of Herman, guitarist Pepe Reckless and bassist Jalle Verne have also parted ways with drummer Hessu Maxx.

Reckless Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when i see your fine
figure at the shoreline
you're wearning little n you wear it well
but it's cold as hell
gonna freeze over in on time
nights grow colder every moment
come undercovers in darkness under winter skies
Push your body against me
Push and feel my heat
baby the nights are getting cold
get your body close to me
Push your body against me
Push Push Push n squeeze
baby the nights are getting cold
So push your body close to me
and share the body heat
and share the body heat
The summers over and it's out of reach
nobody on the beach
the wind is blowin colder
the winter's here n everybody's gone
but we're not alone
Coz what got it still strong
nights grows warmer every moment
under the cover hot under the northen lights
Push your body against me
Push and feel my heat
baby the nights are getting cold
get your body close to me
Push your body against me
Push Push Push n squeeze
baby the nights are getting cold
So push your body close to me
Solo
Get closer to me
Get closer to me, baby
Get closer to me
Get closer to me
it might get slightly naughty
if i got some luck tonight
now i don't talk about the ordinary
skills how to survive
Push your body against me
Push Push Push n squeeze
baby the nights are getting cold
So push your body close to me
Push your body against me
Push Push Push n squeeze
baby the nights are getting cold
So push your body close to me
Push...
The lyrics of Reckless Love's song "Push" express the desire to feel close and warm with a significant other during the winter months when the nights grow colder. The imagery of the shoreline and the beach in summer sets the stage for the contrast of the cold winter nights. The singer almost shivers at the thought of the cold but then sees their companion, who is wearing very little, and feels a warmth in their heart. The verses describe the situation, the cold surroundings, and the desire to feel close, while the chorus repeats the command to "push your body against me" as a way of seeking warmth and closeness. There is also a hint of sensuality in the lyrics with the suggestion of getting slightly naughty and the line "push, push, push, and squeeze." The solo is a musical interlude that enhances the emotion of the song.
Overall, the song is romantic and passionate. It is about wanting to be close to the one you love, and seeking intimacy in the coldest months of the year. It also suggests that while others may be gone, the love the singer has for their companion is still strong.

This is so amazing! *o* Olli use he's voice so perfectly in that song, it's more soft than usually and I love it~ <33

Well they're very much inspired by Guns 'n' Roses. I was talking to Olli last Thursday because I had the lucky privellage of meeting him and I told him he reminded me of Axl Rose in some ways and he took that as a huge compliment. I can relate. When I write music I use similar themes to artists who inspire me. By the way, Olli's genuinely one of the loveliest musicians I've ever met.
