About

Killer is a Finnish poprock band founded in 1999 in Helsinki, best known for the early-2000s hits "All I Want" and "Naughty Boy". Their debut album *Sickeningly Pretty & Unpleasantly Vain* (2001) went gold in Finland, and the follow-up *Sure You Know How to Drive This Thing* (2003) broke them into Central Europe - including a slot at Rock am Ring. The band dissolved in 2005 but returned in 2026 with original members Siiri Nordin and Teijo Jämsä, releasing the new single "Come Back" after more than two decades of silence.
