I was also an outsider – The Rasmus about the tragedy in Kauhajoki [Sweden]

Finland’s The Rasmus release the new disc – but grieve.
School massacre that shakes the home country of Finland involving singer Lauri Ylönen deep.
- Finland is shaken. It feels surreal to me sitting here and doing interviews, he told Aftonbladet.
The shock after dödskjutningarna in Kauhajoki has still not released.
On the phone from Finland says Lauri Ylönen, 29, the tragedy right now overshadows everything else.
- Nobody in the band know someone from Kauhajoki but we’ve played there many times, said Lauri.

Did adult role models
Exclusion, poor young people and fewer leisure centers for Finnish young people believe he is a reason for something like this could happen.
- I was also an outsider when I went to school. But as I dared me in the road to a YOUTH RECREATION CENTER and where I got friends and adult role models who I could talk to, they became like my second family.
With friends he formed after The Rasmus, so did his teenage easier. And led to a career far beyond Finnish borders.

Release their seventh album
On Wednesday released The Rasmus “Black Roses”, the band’s seventh disc.
Lauri promise nothing but says that the band might play in Sweden in January. The last time the group of fans bathed in the fountain at the Sergel Square after the gig. Something that will be difficult to do in cold January.
- We may draw with them and skate instead, said Lauri.
