History

Early days (1994)

When they started at Suutarila high school in the early 1990s, they met Pauli Rantasalmi and later Janne Heiskanen. In 1994 they decided to create their own band in school. They practiced a lot, and at the end of the year they played their very first show before the Christmas holiday. At that time they were initially known as Sputnik, then Anttila then Trashmosh and then simply Rasmus (a shortened version of "Thrashmosh").
