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.
The Rasmus song list includes, but is not limited to:
Livin in A World Without You
Jutify
No Fear
Funeral Song
Firts Lady Of My Life
Guilty
Ect.

Cool Finnish band with awesome songs. Don't forget, that "In the Shadows" isn't their only song and that's not the reason to hate them if you don't like this one :DDD

Rasmus is the name of someone who is very loving and caring. a Rasmus has a lot of energy and loves the outdoors. a Rasmus is very active, but also loves candy and sweets. a Rasmus is very attractive and many people love a Rasmus for their fun and crazy personality and gorgeous looks. a Rasmus will never let you down and is very loyal to friends and lovers. you can always trust a Rasmus. if you feel sad and need a hug, a Rasmus is probably what you need. if you ever meet a Rasmus, make sure you keep them close to you. you dont wanna lose a Rasmus.
