"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."
