Edit history

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: Lismore-born vocalist/guitarist/songwriter and founding member Jaeden Ogston; UK born, Coffs Harbour raised bassist India Raine; and Caloundra drummer Jono Frowd. After touring through the 2019 bushfire outbreak under a previous identity, the band reshaped and refined itself. Building on a distinctive pub-rock tonality inherited from early days of touring dive bars, Reckless Coast was developed featuring a style that bridges the gap between contemporary alt/indie, and the quintessential eras of rock. Following a sold-out show for the iconic 'TALK' release, Reckless Coast grew their dynamic repertoire with releases such as 'Do You Want Me?', 'Ambers' and 'Gossip', landing features in Too Much Love Mag (USA), The Music (Australia), and Apple Music playlists. Extensive touring of Australia’s east coast led the band to support acts such as Press Club, The Delta Riggs and, most notably, The Southern River Band on all QLD dates during the renowned 'Stan Qualen' tour. Fuelled by these milestones, Reckless Coast released their debut EP, 'Naked & Famous', highlighted by the flagship single 'Burn Street'. The EP garnered national radio and press coverage from Triple J, The AU Review and Pedestrian, alongside international attention from The Bucket Playlist (Switzerland), York Calling (UK) and Zona Emergente (Mexico). During this same period, their single 'Gossip' was revisited and featured by Marshall Amplification for their Shred Sunday series. In the months that followed, Reckless Coast were booked to support bands such as DICE, AshenMoon (co-founded by Garry Beers of INXS), and joined the 'Where We Belong Festival' line-up alongside Frenzal Rhomb. Starting 2026 off with a headline performance at Tasmania's 'Festival of King Island', Reckless Coast now return with their latest single 'Long Way Home'. A roadworthy anthem dipped in nostalgic haze, 'Long Way Home' pulls and flows with an addictive rock basis that utilises modernised alternative approaches that uplift the tracks energy, and highlights their iconically zealous coastal pub-rock persona.
