HOKKA

Finnish rock project Hokka have advanced their emerging mythology with the release of their second single Death By Cupid's Arrow, deepening the cinematic world first introduced on debut track In The Darkness. The new release reinforces the band's intent to operate on a grand narrative scale, combining stark emotional themes with the weight and drama associated with Finland's long tradition of dark, atmospheric rock.

After more than three decades at the forefront of European rock, Finnish mainstays The Rasmus are finally about to tick off a long-standing omission from their touring history, their first ever Australian shows. With days to go before they land, the band have confirmed Melbourne outfit Nth Rd as special guests for all dates of the January and February run, marking a significant moment for both acts.

Finnish rock mainstays The Rasmus have released a new video for Banksy, the latest single from their eleventh studio album Weirdo. The track continues the band's long tradition of merging dark atmospheres, taut grooves and melodic choruses with topical lyrics that reflect the turbulent world around them, and the band's lifelong empathy for outsiders and misfits. The arrival of Banksy extends a prolific period that now folds into a major milestone, as The Rasmus prepare for their first ever Australian headline shows in January 2026.

Finnish rock favourites The Rasmus have turned a war-zone performance into a powerful act of charity, raising more than $84,000 for Ukraine's Okhmatdyt National Children's Specialised Hospital - and they'll be heading to Australia for their first ever headline shows in January 2026.
