Sunrise Avenue is a pop/rock band from Finland. Sunrise Avenue is: Samu, Sami, Raul & Riku. Live, the four finnish guys are supported by their Producer Jukka Backlund or Osmo Ikonen. Osmo even has his own solo career. Go and check him out! (He has already released two albums: "Stories from within" and "Heaven or hell is just a state of mind")
In addition, Singer Samu Haber produces also two other finnish bands called “Clarkkent” & “Flamboy”.
Over eight years ago, the guys came together to inspire as much people as possible with their music and of course they wanted to sign a record contract. But ‘til they reached their dream, it was a long and stony way. First, they had to find a producer, who was soon found with Jukka.
Then, a fan sold his house to pay for the studio time cause the guys still had no record deal. They had to swallow 102 rejections from record labels ‘til they finally got signed by EMI Germany. Up ‘til then they were able to release their album in central europe and the story went on...
Meanwhile, there are three Studioalbums (On the way to wonderland, Popgasm & Out of Style), one live Album (Acoustic Tour 2010)) and one DVD (live in wonderland).
That was just a tiny piece of the way, Sunrise Avenue already went through and hopefully they’ll follow this way for a long time!
Cause actually the way is the destination ;)

it's just the beginning. . .
After releasing the multi-platinum album "On The Way To Wonderland" in 2006, Sunrise Avenue has taken a huge step forward from being
‘the four guys playing music just for fun’ and are closer to the target of becoming big international artists.
After releasing the second album "Popgasm" in 2009, which included big international hits like "The Whole Story" and "Welcome To My Life", the band has been actively touring around Central-Europe and in Finland and also a live album “Acoustic Tour 2010” was released in Europe Autumn 2010.
The journey has been a lot of fun and hard work, but the story is just beginning along with the release of the third studio album in March, Sunrise Avenue is aiming to be better and bigger than ever!
“Out of Style” is again a brilliant example of the amazing song writing skills of the band’s singer and leader Samu Haber. The first single "Hollywood Hills" is therefore a great sneak peek from the new album as it has great melody, chorus, a true story behind the lyrics and awesome production!
Using two producers on the forthcoming album was a perfect solution for Sunrise Avenue; they continued working with their own ‘in-house’ producer Jukka Backlund and also hooked up with a new producer Jukka Immonen, who has produced most of the best sounding and selling
pop-albums in Finland during the past few years.
Together the two Jukka´s have done an absolutely great job, working closely together with the album’s executive producer Samu Haber himself and with the rest of the band members. The new album sounds like Sunrise Avenue but at the same time it also presents a new and fresh band sound - it´s straight forward melodic rock-music with a twist of pop flavour in it.
It has been quite a ride so far: Sunrise Avenue has sold over 500 000 albums, received several international prizes such as four NRJ Music Awards, European Border Breaker Award, Radio Regenbogen Award, two Finnish Grammies etc. They´ve also performed in several big
TV-shows like Wetten Dass and World Athlete Championships, not to forget all the sold out gigs and tours, especially the performances on the biggest festival stages in Europe where they have rocked during the past years, which among others have been: Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park, Nova Rock and several others.
Now it´s time to write a new chapter in the Sunrise Avenue success story along with the new album “Out of Style” which is released on March 25 around Europe.
