Reckless Abandon on YouTube - Offering Ringtones - Upcoming Shows

Reckless Abandon has now made it to the world of youtube. That's right - as you can see in the videos below, Ryan Hampton & Jef Park put a video of the band practicing on youtube. The video is not high-quality, nor is it the full capability of the band, but it is enough for you to get a general idea of what the band is like.

Also, Reckless Abandon is now offering ringtones. You can get them very easily - so long as you have texting. Contact Jef or Ryan and they will be glad to assist you receiving your free and legal Reckless Abandon ringtone.

Ryan Hampton said "I have the 'Will You Be There' ringtone, and I must say, I miss phone calls sometimes because I get sucked into the ringtone that I do not answer the call in time."

Reckless Abandon is currently practicing for a possible benefit concert for children in Africa, and the band is also practicing for recording their first full length CD hopefully sometime in the summer. "We do not know for sure that the concert will work out, but we would like for it to" says Jef in a recent interview.

"Right now" says Ryan, "We still have a long way to go. Getting on youtube is just a small step in a long journey. Next for us is some sort of gig, a CD, and possibly a music video of some sort. When we get these done, I will be happy."

Only time will tell how this goes. Please enjoy the video of the practices below. One is of the song "If Only They Knew" written by Ryan and Jef in September and October of last year. The other song is "We don't need no more Dr. Grant," a song written by Jef out of humor and love toward Christian lecturer Dr. George Grant. "We watch his videos for school, and although I love him dearly, his lectures are boring. I hope he can see this himself on youtube, and laugh, wondering who in the heck I am!" says Jef.

Nontheless, although this is great for Reckless Abandon, they realize they have a long way to go.
