🇫🇮 Growth, melancholy and chemistry: Meeting The Rasmus

Music, Society & Culture

If you’re a 90s kid, you’d know The Rasmus (and still listen to the compilation CDs they’re on). One of Finland‘s biggest exports are finally bringing their brand of pop-rock to the Eurovision stage with a banger to start Semi Final 2 rolling.

Michael caught up with Lauri and Eero to chat about the big event.

🐨 What’s the Australian connection?

⏳ How has The Rasmus changed over the last 20 years?

🎸 Who was involved in creating Jezebel?

You can see The Rasmus perform in Semi Final 2 on SBS:

• Live on Friday 13 May at 5am (AEST)
• Prime time on Saturday 14 May at 8:30pm (AEST)
