The Rasmus vocalist Lauri Ylonen has teamed up with Blind Channel vocalist Niko Vilhelm and Joel Hokka for a Bedroom Sessions cover of their track Dark Side. Blind Channel represented Finland at Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the track and it saw them gaining 6th place overall.
“Lauri and The Rasmus are hands off – one of the most legendary Finnish rock exports. I remember as a kid watching those black feathers on TV and jammin’ Dead Letters. When Lauri called me and asked for a collab we couldn’t say no,” says Blind Channel’s Joel Hokka.

Keep up to date with Lauri’s Bedroom Sessions series over on YouTube. Last month The Rasmus released their new single Bones, the track is taken from their forthcoming, yet to be announced tenth studio album. Bones is available to stream or purchase from HERE. Stay tuned for more singles to come from the band later this year.
