Ruoska

Ruoska was formed in 2002 with some of the same members from the comedy rock band Natsipaska. They released their debut album Kuori the same year.

In 2005, Radium was released.

Ruoska recorded Amortem in 2006. The singles "Mies yli Laidan" and "Alasin" were turned into music videos. The album itself debuted at sixth place in Finnish radio charts for almost 10 weeks.

Ruoska's fifth album, Rabies, was released in April 2008.

After 18 years since their last album, Ruoska released their sixth album "Kade" in February 2026.
