HRH: Well you have always been welcome here in the UK! I remember back in 2010 at Download Festival… Reckless Love together with Cinderella, caused an absolute storm with the audience?
Olli: Yeah, we had an amazing time at Download Festival twice and hopefully there is more to come! (Laughs) In 2010 we did a show that took us some time to figure it out what was really going on around us! (Laughs) We were so excited and pump on adrenalin that we almost missed the whole experience and excitement in the crowd! I mean how you prepare yourself for that … it was mind blowing! Well, to be fare it was only 20 minutes on stage as it’s on all big Festivals. After that all this feedback we were getting from people was surreal! It was like ‘what the fuck just happened!?’(Laughs) Next time round we got to embraced it all. We really had a blast and crowd was awesome! I heard that 10,000 people came to see us into the tent! Everybody was singing to our songs word by word. They were singing to Pepe’s guitar solos, tunes that he wrote and of course that is amazing feeling. Yeah, that’s why we do all this! {Laughs)
HRH: You’ve been often called a hot singer, uber-talented, and a charismatic frontman… How would you describe yourself if you have to, in more than one word?
Olli: Although it’s flattering to hear some of this stuff, when it comes to any of my qualities and work I am the hardest critics of myself. I am constantly on the mission to better myself. So I try not to look into all that ‘hot guy stuff’ too deep, otherwise it will slow me down. (Laughs) But if I have to put it in my words, I would say that I am stubborn, indecisive and thoughtful … sometimes too much of all of this!
HRH: Ok, what next from Reckless Love? I hear you’ve been writing new songs…
Olli: We are not actually working on the new album yet. I mean, we‘re working on the new material and writing new songs. So, hopefully by the next year this time we would have new album! We will do more videos, singles, but nothing sure yet. At the moment we’re hunting for new killer songs! I mean, we have killer songs; we’re now hunting for mass murder songs! (Laughs) Yeah, that’s what we need!
HRH: Thank you Olli for making the time for the Interview! It was awesome seeing you again back here in Nottingham and in the same venue! Enjoy the rest of your tour!
Olli: Thank you! (Laughs) It feels like coming back home! I mean, we always love coming back here in the UK and Nottingham audience always been awesome to us!
