A few days ago, the news that Reckless Love frontman Olli Herman is now also the new frontman of the Finnish band Popeda has caused quite a stir. In Finland, Popeda are seen as the “Finnish Rolling Stones“. In the meantime, also Reckless Love have commented on the new circumstances:
“Congrats Olli for joining the most legendary Finnish rock band @popedaofficial as their new singer. Awesome job and big news!! We will let you all know about our future plans within this month. Stay Tuned. Happy New Year 2024.” – Reckless Love
It is not the first time that Olli Herman has taken on the position of the frontman in another band while in Reckless Love: From 2007 to 2008, Olli Herman (a.k.a. H. Olliver Twisted) was the second frontman of the Swedish glam sleaze rockers Crashdïet, so one can hope that his new job at Popeda does not necessarily mean the end of the Finnish merry metallers Reckless Love.
Also Popeda drummer Lacu played a few shows with Crashdïet, in 2022, acting as a substitute for Eric Young who had decided to step down from his duties as a live drummer.
