The Rasmus je finska rok grupa osnovana 1994. u Helsinkiju. Osnivači grupe su bili Lauri Ylönen (vokal i tekstopisac), Еero Heinonen (bas gitara), Pauli Rantasalmi (gitara) и Janne Heiskanen (bubnjevi). Janne je napustio bend 1998. a na njegovo mjesto je došao Aki Hakala. Bend je osnovan kao Rasmus ali su 2001. promjenili ime u The Rasmus da bi izbjegli sličnosti sa švedskim DJ-om istog imena.

Svijetsku slavu su stekli albumom Dead Letters iz 2003. koji je imao zlatni i platinasti tiraž u nekoliko zemalja, a singl “In the Shadows” je bio na vodećim pozicijama mnogih svijetskih top lista. The Rasmus je jedna od najuspješnijih finskih grupa svih vremena, koja je širom svijeta prodala preko 4 miliona albuma i osvojila brojne međunarodne nagrade u vidu zlatnih i platinastih diskova. Do sada su objavili 8 studijskih albuma, 2 kompilacije i 26 singla.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Hey, we are The Rasmus.
Welcome to our Pledge Music page .
As some of you already heard from updates on Facebook and our website, we are going to realize something big in a new amazing way:
We are going to realize the Live DVD via Pledge Music – together with you! There will only be a very limited amount on sale during our tour so be quick!
The Project:The DVD was filmed during our last Tour in May 2012. It is backstage material as well as live footage filmed by the Band. Now we are sitting on almost 60 hours of video material, ready to be cut. And we would need your input to get things rolling! We have also included really cool remix rareties for download items! Also there are loads on other stuff which are only available through Pledge Music. We also hope to see you all in our Tour in October (Finland) and November (Europe). Check out the tour dates from our website: www.therasmus.com

All the best!
Lauri, Eero, Aki & Pauli
