In the early days the band was called Sunrise and the name was changed to Sunrise Avenue in 2003. Sunrise Avenue was known for their catchy melodic and modern songs and energetic live performances. Their style varied from rock and pop-rock to rock ballads. The band sold more than 2,000,000 albums and 2,000,000 singles and played several tours and more than a thousand shows in twenty European countries and Japan.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} Sunrise Avenue's best known songs are "Hollywood Hills" (2011), "Fairytale Gone Bad" (2006), "Forever Yours" (2007), "The Whole Story" (2009), "Heal Me" (2007) and "Welcome To My Life" (2009). The band released five studio albums, two live albums, three live DVDs, a best-of album and 18 singles. CareerSamu Haber established Sunrise together with Finnish singer songwriter Jan Hohenthal in April 1992 in Espoo, Finland. They performed at all kinds of pubs, small festivals and private parties until 1998, when Haber moved to Spain. The other band members that time were Sami Heinänen (Bass) and Antti Tuomela (Drums). After four years in Spain and only a handful of performances at private Spanish events Haber moved back to Finland. The band changed the name to Sunrise Avenue in October 2001 in restaurant Memphis in Helsinki at the “Sunrise world domination plan meeting.” By that time Tuomela had left the band and the band had no drummer. Bassist Sami Heinänen designed the American Street sign logo for the band after the meeting. Jan Hohenthal left the band in 2002 as he wanted to focus on his own career. These days Hohenthal plays with his Finnish folk band Metrofolk. Heinänen introduced a new guitarist, his high school friend Janne Kärkkäinen to the band in 2002. With a new drummer, Juho Sandman, the band performed in many student events, small festivals and in small clubs mostly in the Greater Helsinki area. The guys worked with two Finnish producers (Jone Ullakko and Jani Saastamoinen) before finding their future in-house producer Jukka Backlund. Haber still says Backlund is the “All time musical mentor and teacher for himself and for the band.” Between 2002–2005 Haber visited record companies and agencies 102 times in Finland and Sweden before they were finally signed to a small Scandinavian label Bonnier Amigo Music. The answer was always the same: Without black clothes and make-up, rock music can’t succeed. To finance the debut album On the Way to Wonderland, Haber introduced the “Sunrise Avenue Business Plan” to his friend, a copy machine sales man Mikko Virtala. Virtala financed most of the album’s recordings and a trip to Midem Music Expo in Cannes, France to meet the European managers and labels. In Cannes Haber met the band’s future manager Bob Cunningham from the UK. On the Way to Wonderland was released in 2006 in most of Europe. The biggest hit “Fairytale Gone Bad” reached several top positions in radio and single charts in many countries and the band performed 3 sold out European tours and the biggest European festivals, such as the main stage of Rock am Ring in 2007. In 2007 the band decided to fire their guitarist Janne Kärkkäinen after a long difficult era. Kärkkäinen filed a lawsuit against the band claiming they had no right to perform as Sunrise Avenue without him. The Band won the court case on the first level court in Finland and after 3 years of legal fight, both parties made a classified financial agreement for the future and all cases were dropped. The band name and the trademark is owned now by the only remaining original band member Samu Haber. In 2008 Haber and Backlund bought the Sonic Kitchen Recording Studio in Helsinki together with a Finnish producer Aku Sinivalo. Sunrise Avenue Recorded the second studio album Popgasm at Sonic Kitchen Studios. Haber and Backlund sold their share of the studio in 2010. In 2010 Sunrise Avenue recorded the acoustic shows on their tour in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and they released the best moments on Acoustic Tour Live 2010 album in most of Europe. In 2010 Sunrise Avenue started working with their 3rd studio album together with Backlund and a new producer Jukka Immonen. The songs were written in Helsinki, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Stockholm, Greece and Germany. With two producers in the team, Haber became the band’s executive producer. In the summer of 2010 after negotiating with many Scandinavian major record companies, Sunrise Avenue signed a worldwide deal with Universal Music (excluding Germany, Switzerland, Austria) Out Of Style has been released in 70 countries and the first single Hollywood Hills has been a major radio and sales hit in many European countries. 2013 Sunrise Avenue released their fourth studio album, Unholy Ground, which was a huge success in Germany, Austria and in Switzerland. So far the album has sold platinum in Germany and in Switzerland, in Austria it has reached the gold limit. Lifesaver was the first single and it was a huge radio hit. Unholy Ground was a groundbreaking album and the tour after the release was sold out in several countries with venues up to 12 000 capacities. 2014 Sunrise Avenue released their very first Best Of -album, Fairytales. The album went straight to #1 in the German and Swiss album charts. Album with three new songs has sold more than platinum in Germany and gold in Switzerland. Their most successful singles are "Fairytale Gone Bad" that went Platinum in Finland and Germany and was certified Gold in Sweden), "Forever Yours" which went gold in Finland and "Hollywood Hills" that went platinum in Germany, Sweden and Switzerland and gold in Finland and Austria.
