After wowing me with their debut EP Naked & Famous last year, Meeanjin/Brisbane trio Reckless Coast are back with the killer new single “Addictions.” They’re making the sort of straight-up rock music we don’t hear enough of these days. There’s no bullshit. The vocals from Jaeden Ogston soar and the band is tight without being buttoned-up.
“Addictions” explores the psychological toll of romantic dependency from the perspective of a protagonist feeling jaded by mislead relationships. Jaeden explained “Some people can’t stand the thought of being alone, rushing from one relationship to the next without healing or self reflection, which fuels an almost self fulfilling prophecy. I wrote ‘Addictions’ after a three year relationship ended, and I caught myself looking for something new at a time when I wasn’t emotionally ready.”
Reckless Coast have a couple of local gigs to close out the year. Catch them at the following venues:
7 November 2025 – Blute’s Bar, Meeanjin/Fortitude Valley (supporting VERUM)
4 December 2025 – The Brightside, Meeanjin/Fortitude Valley (supporting Dellacoma)
