First Day Of My Life

The Rasmus

Playground/Universal

WE SAY

This third single from The Rasmus is probably their second best track, having many of the ingredients that made In The Shadows so great, including a riff-driven intro, a ridiculous number of hooks, immaculate production and a great vocal. Another smash.
