RECKLESS COAST "LONG WAY HOME" TOUR BRISBANE
Tomcat (Fortitude Valley, QLD)

Delivering one of the most organically energised performances on the East Coast, Reckless Coast emerged from the underground Australian rock scene in the early 2020s. Their sonic persona of alt-adrenaline with retro-rock-flair has led them to support a dynamic range of acts, including The Southern River Band, DICE and Press Club, and has attracted international features from Marshall Amplification (UK), Triple J (Australia) and Too Much Love (USA). Based in Brisbane (Meanjin), the power trio is comprised of members hailing from various towns along the eastern Australian coastline. After touring through the 2019 bushfire outbreak under a previous identity, the band reshaped and refined itself. Based on a distinctive pub-rock tonality inherited from their early days of touring dive bars, Reckless Coast’s style bridges the gap between contemporary alt/indie, and the quintessential eras of rock.
Following a sold-out show for the 'TALK' release, Reckless Coast expanded their dynamic repertoire with releases such as 'Gossip'. Paired
with extensive touring of Australia’s coast, it led them to support Press Club, The Delta Riggs and, most notably, The Southern River Band. Their debut EP 'Naked & Famous', featuring the flagship single ‘Burn Street’, garnered national coverage from Triple J, The AU Review and Pedestrian, alongside international attention from The Bucket Playlist (Switzerland) and York Calling (UK). 'Gossip' was also revisited and featured by Marshall Amplification for the 'Shred Sunday' series during this time. In the months that followed, they were booked to support bands such as DICE, AshenMoon (co-founded by Garry Beers of INXS), and joined 'Where We Belong Festival' with Frenzal Rhomb.
In 2025, they ushered in a new era with their latest single, 'Addictions' — a fervent alt-rock track that industrialises their core identity. Showcasing the band’s capacity for emotional expressiveness beneath ardent rock tonality, it proves they adhere to no creative tethers as they blend influences from across decades and genres in their unique approach to alt-retro rock modernity.
