Buzzjack Mountain deserves a mention.

Danælanda was nice back in the day, but by now Danævia must have completed more contests, is that right @danG? I also like Herbilore and it's become quite the household name amongst BJSC listeners now.

Not really a relevent post for this week's thread, but can someone tell me if there is a BuzzJack thread that exists somewhere for songs/hits not currently on streaming platforms?

Also if anyone thinks it is unfair having a song with the original artist credited... go back to the very first SoundClash in this series to be reminded that it was the same for Queen.
