HELSINKI, Finland (CelebrityAccess) — Finnish rock quartet The Rasmus, led by founding frontman and songwriter Lauri Ylönen, has inked a new label deal with Better Noise Music and Helsinki’s Playground Music ahead of their upcoming tour.
“The Rasmus have never chosen to rest easy on previous success, but are always striving for new achievements with great dedication and energy,” says Playground Music’s CEO Mårten Aglander. “With Better Noise Music we’ve found a most skilled and powerful partner who also fully matches their ambition. I’m really happy for us and for the band that this cooperation can happen.”
“We are very excited to work with Better Noise Music, I can’t think of a better international home for The Rasmus,” says Lars Tengroth, The Rasmus’ A&R man at Playground Music since 1999. “The band’s new material is harder and darker and fits the label perfectly.”
