History of Launiça, Chapter 17:

 

Following a bloodless coup in the authoritarian state of Tréstamford-Gallagher, one of the new regime's first steps upon regaining control of its land and giving it back its traditional name of Launiça was to make a last-minute return to the esteemed Buzzjack Song Contest. The previous regime had only entered the competition once, in its 27th incarnation, but the country's new leaders saw it as a key way of asserting their identity on a world stage. Due to the impending contest deadline, selection was unable to be put to public vote and garage rock five-piece Howler were nominated by a committee of music industry experts.

Official name: Democratic Republic of Launiça

Capital city: Máyer

Population: 1.12 million

Currency: Launician Crown (Ç)

Is your capital city name from John Mayer's surname?

Good 'debut'* entry, I thought it'd be something completely different based on the title (I was having visions of the WORST death metal songs etc.) but it's really quite catchy.

 

Welcome back to BJSC too :D, I didn't do that in the new registration thread so I'll do it here.

 

*it was ages ago but Hurricane is still a massive tune so that's good too.

Is your capital city name from John Mayer's surname?

 

No, it's after my own :P (imaginative, I know)

So, much-hyped four piece Imagine Dragons will be representing the Democratic Republic of Launiça in the 50th incarnation of the Buzzjack Song Contest after a lengthy repatriation process returned them from Bignia-Zaragovina. What does everyone think of "Radioactive"?

 

LOVE Radioactive!!

Greetings from another commonly DNQing country, Palmyra.

Love your entry, hunted it down as soon as I heard the Assassain's Creed add.

Hope it qualifies :)

'Radioactive' is getting huge support from Bignia-Zaragovina but we don't think it's quite as good as 'It's Time'. :kink: We'd still have a state of mourning were Imagine Dragons to fail to make the final though. Really should check the album out.

I'll be gobsmacked if Imagine Dragons DNQ so I think you're guaranteed to qualify this time Charlie. :D

Appreciate the support, as of now I still prefer "It's Time" as well :kink: having listened to a lot of their other stuff it's rather patchy, they certainly know how to pick their singles well.
