Finish rock musicians the Rasmus have been making waves in the industry since the tender age of 16, continuing to build their empire to with 11 albums and the astounding accomplishment of 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified records.
"LOVE IS A B**CH" IS ONE OF FOUR SONGS RELEASED OFF OF THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM "WEIRDO", DUE FOR RELEASE ON sEPTEMBER 12TH.
“This song was always a wildcard,” says singer Ylönen. “It never fit with the rest of the songs. Still, we thought it was a fun song to play and I’m glad we decided to put it on the album. Lyrically, it’s about someone who’s treating you like shit but is too good in bed to let go.”
"Most of the songs on WEIRDO were written by Lauri Ylönen, Desmond Child and Marti Fredriksen in Folegandros, Greece. That’s where Lauri and Desmond met up to work on material that Lauri brought. THE RASMUS then did full band demos of all the tracks in Finland in July 2023, with production led by Frederiksen and Child."
"Later, they finalized the songs and recorded the album with the whole band in Marti Fredriksen's Sienna Studios in Nashville. Some of the tracks were mixed by Fredriksen in Nashville, assisted by Evan Fredriksen, while other mixes were done by Chris Baseford in Vancouver, Canada and by Claudius Mittendorfer in London, and Joseph McQueen in Los Angeles. Additional production by McQueen injects a fresh intensity into tracks like “Creatures of Chaos” and “Break These Chains,” while Ylönen himself takes the helm on “Rest in Pieces” alongside Alex Mattson."
