About this album

Reckless is a sharp, hook-filled statement from The Sports, one of Australia’s most distinctive late-1970s rock bands. Issued in 1978, the album blends New Wave concision with pub-rock bite, giving the group’s melody-first writing a tougher, faster edge. Its appeal rests on taut songs such as Boys! (What Did The Detective Say?), Reckless and When You Walk In The Room, which showcase the band’s knack for turning restless energy into memorable choruses. As part of the Australian rock surge of the era, Reckless helped confirm The Sports as a band that could make smart, compact guitar pop feel immediate and unmistakably local.
