Given their name, you might expect Meeanjin/Brisbane band Reckless Coast to create laidback acoustic tunes to soundtrack your beach tunes. Press play on their latest track “Gossip” and in just a few seconds you’ll realise they’re not that band. Not even close. Reckless Coast can rock with the best of them, so strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.
“Gossip was written to cause pure chaos live,” said songwriter and frontman Jaeden Ogston. “I wanted an anarchic energy to the song, and I think we definitely delivered on that!”
“I can’t get enough of playing this song live,” added bassist India Raine. “Our energy goes full throttle and I love seeing the crowd’s uncontained response.”
