Finnish sleaze rockers RECKLESS LOVE return with their fifth studio album, Turborider. Following a 4-year hiatus and just recently receiving gold awards for their first three albums in Finland, singer Olli Herman and his band are now gearing up for their next move. Turborider is high-energy, synth wave-infused rock with an undeniable 80s touch. Fun? Check! Uplifting? Check. Turborider will make you forget the world around you, and its infectious hooks will make you sing along all day.
Switching to a more serious gear, RECKLESS LOVE now (re-)visit e.g. the 80s game worlds. At the center of the sounds are 80s themes and the modern dark-speaking world of synth wave. The band dived deep into the game world and the movie moods of the genre and era.
“Outrun was the first song we wrote for the Turborider album, so I think it makes perfect sense that it’s also the first single cut from the album. Somehow, this catchy little tune managed to encapsulate all of the stuff that is built into the genetics of every kid that grew up during the era of arcade games, long haired metal bands and explosive action movies. The lyrics are filled with themes and entertaining wordplays, that put supercharged motor racing and hormone rich competitions, side by side. In the sound department, the 80’s-esque pop metal roars loud and clear, however, it’s also strongly colored with a modern synth wave flavor, whipping up an interesting cocktail”, says Reckless Love vocalist Olli.
