Biography

Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland (1994 – present)

The Rasmus (early Rasmus) is a rock band formed in 1994 in Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland. Consisting of Lauri Ylönen (lead singer/songwriter), Eero Heinonen (bass), Pauli Rantasalmi (guitar) and Aki Hakala (drums). The band was formed at the end of the band members’ schooling and were initially known as Rasmus. They recorded their first single, 1st, released independently through Teja Kotilainen Records in late 1995. They signed with Warner Music Finland in 1996 and released their first album, Peep, that same year. The album went gold in Finland.

The band won the Finnish Grammy Award EMMA for “Best New Artist” in 1996. Playboys, the band’s second studio album, and its single Blue, released in 1997, both went gold in Finland. Hellofatester was released in 1998, spawning singles Liquid and Swimming With the Kids. The video for Liquid received regular airplay on Nordic MTV.
Rasmus became The Rasmus in 2000 to avoid confusion with the similarly named Swedish electronica artist, known simply as Rasmus. Into was released in 2001 and went double platinum in Finland debuting at #1. The first single F-F-F-Falling was #1 in Finland during three months in early 2001. The second single Chill reached the #2 place in Finland. The Rasmus toured Scandinavia and Europe along with HIM and Roxette that year to promote the album. The band finally gained international fame with their 2003 album Dead Letters which went gold and platinum in several countries, accompanied with the single In The Shadows which reached #1 in a number of countries. iTunes Music Store offered the track as one of its free singles, a positive public response prompted many listeners to buy the rest of the album.

    Many bands that changed their name has two (or more) pages. Rasmus released three albums before they changed their name. The stats are clean if there wouldn't be tracks from other albums.

    Расмус Гарделл ,профессионально известный,как просто Rasmus ,шведский продюсер электронной музыки,которого иногда принимают за финскую группу с тем же названием(с артиклем "The"-The Rasmus).Артист известен за трек "Punk Shock",который в следствие ошибки оказался в Диджейсете Лиэма Хаулетта "The Dirtchamber Sessions vol.1" под названием "Tonto's Release".

    This is just embarrassing, why would a band need two pages? Of course their 3 first albums should be listed as THE Rasmus as well, it's a new name not a new band. Keep this one for the Swedish DJ, problem solved.

    How about we who listen to the BAND use the name The Rasmus and the people who listen to the DJ use the name Rasmus? Avoids confusion ;)
