"I'm in Stockholm, I'll be stateside in a couple of weeks, I've been here pretty much since the beginning of the year. I don't own a place anywhere, I'm pretty much a straight up nomad these days. I did a couple of European tours earlier in the year, I've done a little bit of holidaying over here and I've just kind of been hanging out until my European visitor visa has run out. So, now it's time to go back to the States and do some touring over there."

"Yes I do, it's out in October and it's called "Giant Steps." I think it basically tells the tale of my musical career if you like. Some things are in there that I don't think many people would understand or know about that I've been involved in from both being a musician in England; I was originally born in Scotland, to becoming a music executive and dealing with every kind of musical situation that anyone can be in to be honest with you."

"We come from Finland, we are all from Helsinki, the capital city," stated The Rasmus front man Lauri Ylonen as he discussed the band's newest release, origins, songwriting and more. "We met a long time ago at school, we were 15 years old when we put the band together and that was about 30 years ago. So, it has been a long career for us, this will be our eleventh album, there have been a lot of things happening during those years but fortunately we are still together and only two of our members have changed. We have two original guys, me and the bass player and we're excited about The Rasmus for 2025."
