And Talouskukkaro - was founded in 1982 in Joensuu - had only a cult status in the history of Finnish rock, despite reaching the final of the Finnish Rock Championships in 1983 Among the contemporary band - in "Lollipops speed" - aroused feelings of emotional surprise for the band was something of youthful breath of air in the era of blackish and over-romantic Finnish rock: pre-teen primitive force whose existence is recognized by varjeen but not always accepted åtminstone is not from a band made up mostly of players at the ripe age of 14
The four novices in the realm of rock music Ilkka Alanko Kode Koistinen Lade Laakkonen and Kamy), however, after much attention to the change of name in Nelja Ruusu could not shake off those who have already lost their hearts to the band a year later in 1986 Nelja Ruusu signed by a major record label and in 1987 the first album was released Nelja Ruusu Although the band had been working for five long years it was only the beginning The first album was received with something that can described "polite interest" Next Kasvukipuja album was released later that year and a minor hit Itkupilli included in the album seemed to convince lyssnaverkare of Nelja Ruusu have stuff for good performance later in the day theytwo albums seem to be twins, brimming over with the desire to prove his potential at that time Nelja Ruusu did a lot of unplugged gigs and that was when the rhythmic disco-influenced track was introduced to the public - the sound that would mark the band
It took two years before the next album released album Hyvää päivää 1989 was a good step towards what the band was to be in the 90s, even if the music itself was not yet clear Nelja Ruusu today's tracks were clearly at that stage was still Ilkka Alanko principally responsible for to compose - days of guitarist Koistinen came somewhat later - the unique sound of the band began TAKE form Nelja Ruusu continued to do gigs and SOLD sign was not an unusual sight on the door of the authoran
The fourth album Hyvää Yota Bangkok harvested what Nelja Ruusu had been sown in their three previous albums The interest in new technologies, the band had cared for together with his almost willful desire to play rock 'Hyvää Yota Bangkok "went gold, and such Readers of Rumba voted to move almost unanimously in both the album and the band play called Sukellus number one of the year in their respective series among the top 15 pieces were also two more "Hyvää Yota Bangkok 'track and Muisto Bangkok This proves that Nelja Ruusu previously known for their events had now succeeded in creating a pair of two-minute items in addition it was ABOUT the time the band started to emphasize the visual content of the live performance they tore away touring and hard work paid - gigs conclusionsLD is now the rule rather than exception
Haloo 1992 continued in the same commercial metal line as previous albums only sell platinum instead of gold Many songs on the album as Juppihippipunkkari Tie Ajatuksiin or Sun Täytyy Menna now seen as classic reflections of their time Nelja Ruusu continued musical journey deeper and deeper into the intersection of pop dancable and dedicated rock - an area that was still pretty much undefined in Finland, while the identity of the band was clearly the critics had to search for comparison outside Finland, it was not uncommon to hear Nelja Ruusu nämnaed in connection with names like Prince U2 and Depeche Mode
Next album Pop-uskonto was released in 1993 also sold platinum and the continued success of "Haloo "in referendums organized by various actors in the music business - Nelja Ruusu retained its pole position in both series of the band and album, it may be mentioned that Ilkka Alanko was voted number one sex objects of the country which can in a way seen as a break in a new area! The tracks Poplaulajan Vapaapäivä and Luena were figureheads for the album the band is spreading pop-religion on a massive tour with Finnish standards - the tour lasted 38 days including just one day off for the band
Highlights of 1994 were joint performances with the city's orchestra in Joensuu, Tampere and Turku Performance Jagne Tampere shot and double CD with a remix collection entitled "Energiaa" went gold also the legendary gig at Ilosaarirock took place that year: the band got pc?? Ll the gig because of a heavy thunderstorm, but offset it a few weeks later, throwing an event that tested the island's ability to float! In 1995, the band planned together with a group of nine dancers under the direction of coreographer Ari A Midsummer Night's show called "Tanssienergismi" - the show was performed at five different festivals in three days of parallel projects 4R was activated and Nelja Ruusu repeal
4R meant primarily a new motivation for the existence of the tape that had been achieved in Finland, virtually everything that it could be achieved 4R rellättade two albums in English, the first of Mood in 1996 went gold "Not For Sale" in 1998 did not do so well commercially and Nelja Ruusu media starred in Finnish now 4R recording in Englishreceived by the media in a way that no band in Finland has ever experienced: those who had knocked at the back was now tingling! The experience which united the band more than anything else, it is also likely that without 4R Nelja Ruusu would not exist - at least not as creative and inspired as it is today,
