RUSHONROCK approved hair metal throwbacks Reckless Love are stepping up their bid to conquer the UK rock scene after revealing plans for a new headline tour this autumn.
Fresh from support slots with Black Veil Brides and a handful of headline sets the fantastic Finns are gearing up for next month’s Download appearance. But the boys will be back in a town near you in October – and taking up a month-long residency in London!
“We are very exited about this,” said lead singer Olli Herman. “Our reception in the UK has always been over the top but because of the busy situation in Finland we’ve felt that the party’s been cut a bit short every time we’ve been over.
“So we decided to stay a little longer this time and treat our fans with a chance to catch us live all over the UK for four weeks in a row!!!
“Every Thursday we also get a chance to do special shows at Camden’s own Barfly, which was the very first place we ever played in the UK and therefore it’ll always be a special venue for Reckless Love. It’s gonna be one hell of an October and we can’t wait to kick it off already. Stay Reckless.”
Fellow hair metal crew Kissin’ Dynamite have been hotly tipped to open up for Reckless Love on their latest UK tour in what could be one of the craziest double bills of 2012.
