Greece: Within just a couple of notes of Victor's angst-ridden ballad (or whatever style of music this is) I could sense a couple of ducks preparing to take off. Indeed Mr Vernicos takes teenage (?) misery to completely normal heights in "What they say". What I most liked about this - othe...

German band Lord of the Lost very kindly present us with "Blood and Glitter". The song is somewhat Lordy style (remember Finland 2006?) while the band attempt an updated Marc Bolan/Ziggy Stardust aesthetic. I remember running home from school to watch "Marc", which, I'm proud to ...

The main thing about Estonia's "Bridges" is that it's at the opposite end of the colour spectrum from Denmark. No pastels here I'm afraid, it's black and red (until it's black, white and red) all the way. The piano is black, the dress is black, the scarf is black and the rose petals are re...
