Sunrise Avenue Essentials

Sunrise Avenue's perennially boyish singer and primary songwriter Samu Haber is a hopeless romantic, and since the group got its start in the early '00s, he's channelled his ability to melt hearts into passionately soaring ballads and an impressive string of European hits. Despite their optimistic name, Sunrise Avenue's melodic rockers harbour their fair share of moodiness and melancholy, qualities that particularly come to the fore on a recording of the band's 2010 acoustic tour. If every cloud has a silver lining, this sunrise casts a long, dark shadow.
