here is the information regarding the member of the band
Lauri Ylönen (Vocals)
The lead singer. He was born as Lauri Johannes Ylönen in Helsinki on April 23, 1979. Lauri is the main song writer and has also worked on various collaborations with fellow Finns Apocalyptica and Ville Valo from the band HIM. He has also worked in the production of music for fellow Dynasty members Killer and Kwan, together with bandmate Pauli. In 2005 Lauri and other 'Dynasty' members opened their own recording label, Dynasty Recordings.
Pauli Rantasalmi (Guitarist)
Is the guitarist of The Rasmus. His full name is Pauli Esko Antero Rantasalmi, born on May 1, 1979 in Helsinki. He produces and manages other bands, such as Killer and Kwan. Pauli also plays the kantele, although not in the band. In addition, Pauli owns a studio called "the grotto", and runs a record label called "Dynasty Recordings" along with Lauri Ylonen, which both Kwan and the von Hertzen Brothers are signed to.
Aki Hakala(Drums)
The drummer. His full name is Aki-Markus Juhani Hakala and he was born in Espoo, Finland, on October 28, 1979. He joined the band in 1999, after the former drummer, Janne Heiskanen, left. Aki originally sold band merchandise at their shows and joined the band after "jamming" with Pauli. He says that the only thing he was ever good at was drumming, and he "sucked at everything else", although he has done some acting in the past in "Siamin tytöt" (a Finnish drama series) and can play the guitar. Before joining The Rasmus, he was a drummer for Killer and Kwan (he was replaced by Risto). At the beginning of the summer of 2006, Aki decided to finally get eye surgery, and now no longer needs his trademark black glasses.
Eero Heinonen(Bassist)
The bassist. He was born as Eero Aleksi Heinonen in Helsinki, Finland, on November 27, 1979. Eero is a great fan of Sahaja Yoga and is a quiet and well-balanced person, but also well-known for playing tricks on bandmates and others. He is currently the only member of the band who is married and he is also a father of two. After playing in Korpi Ensemble for many years he now has a new side project (since 2004) called Hay and Stone, where he is bass player and lead singer. Eero also plays the violin.

They have great songs and I like the songs and the lyric so much. Even if they claimed they are rock band but their songs are not that really rock. It still can sooth and sounds great to my ears~(^^)
I like their songs since the first time I listened to the song of 'in the shadow' in MTV. Starting from there most of their songs are great!!(^^)

Glad to see that there's someone interested in the band! (It's Rasmus not Rasmas :P)
It's interesting that all of them were born in the same year. They have released new music and in my opinion they have good performance. :)
