Killer ranks among the biggest Finnish pop phenomena of the millennium turn and quickly rose to prominence among the most talked-about domestic pop-rock bands of its era. Founded in 1999 in the corridors of Helsinki's legendary Lepakkoluola club, the band's original lineup included Aki Hakala and Antti Eräkangas, who later went on to Kwan and Rasmus respectively. After Dynasty-posse reorganized, Killer's stable lineup became Siiri Nordin (vocals), Tuomas Norvio (guitar), Teijo Jämsä (drums), and Timo Huhtala (bass).

The band's debut album Sickeningly Pretty & Unpleasantly Vain was released in 2001. The album's second single All I Want, produced by Rasmus members Lauri Ylönen and Pauli Rantasalmi, charted well domestically and also reached MTV Nordic, which at that time was a significant gateway to international markets and opened doors for Killer across Europe. With the 2003 album Sure You Know How To Drive This Thing, Killer was already touring Central Europe both on their own and as support for HIM and Rasmus. The hit single Naughty Boy from the album cemented the band's position on the domestic live scene - between 2002 and 2004, Killer performed around 200 shows per year. Their energetic and wild live presence became the band's trademark.

Now the band returns to both the studio and the stage. From the original lineup, Siiri Nordin and Teijo Jämsä are back. The lineup is completed by bassist Jarkko Toivanen and guitarist Matias K.
