BJSC/180/Entry

For our second AQ in three months, but the first we have been aware we were definitely getting since 2014, we have gone a little closer to home than Estonia and selected promising new art-rock group Man/Woman/Chainsaw, a mixed six-piece group hailing all the way from London, with their new single Only Girl. Made up of Billy Ward (vocals, guitars), Emmie-Mae Avery (vocals, keys/synths), Vera Leppänen (vocals, bass), Clio Starwood (violin), Lola Cherry (drums), and Billy Doyle (guitar), the group are all aged around 20 and their profile is currently on the up. Vera Leppänen sings lead vocals on the track, which Stereogram described as "90s pop-rock hooks with some striking violin and piano flourishes".

Ricardo Delta of the RTVN explained the entry choice: "Choosing a home entry to represent you is not the easiest task. It's very easy to get lost or send either the same kind of song that you did before in the hopes of another hit, or something completely different that wouldn't make it through the semis, just because.

"We considered doing all of the above and then threw everything to one side when we heard Only Girl, because we were immediately struck by the violin intro and then the rest of the track grabbed us in much the same way. We can hear shades of acts ranging from The Last DInner Party through to The Cure, but even similarities to some acts we have sent before like FIZZ and The Rua. We love a mixed gender group, we love a violin, and we love a great melody - throw it all together and you have an act that we could see doing rather well in the future. They may be an indie rock act but you can hear the commercial/pop elements coming through on Only Girl, and we are proud to have Man/Woman/Chainsaw representing FSR Rontvia in BJSC 180, here in Constarvan.

Only Girl will be competing in the final for FSR Rontvia as our 10th qualifier of the year, therefore completing the calendar year qualification that we missed out on last year after falling at the final hurdle. The song has made an immediate impact in FSR Rontvia, debuting at No.1. Interest for the contest is at a very high level this month and many of the entries are anticipated to be huge hits in our December chart.
