Antisocial Media is a very sincere boys band, it reminds me of 1960s. And it’s not bad; I think this style is reviving bit by bit.

The stage hosts the vocalist, drums, two guitars and two girls as backing vocals. The drums and the girls are standing on white platforms making a contrast with black stage.

At some point boys sing together in one micro and you can see they enjoy what they do.
Many might not like their song but to me it sounds very relaxing, so I wish them good luck.

There aren't many changes in the staging compared to the national final version. It's still happy clappy song of the Beatles era performed by young guys, making it appealing both to girls and their grandmothers.

There are two female backing vocalists adding a bright spot on the stage. Overall, it's a nice song, and is a bit different from everything else we see in this semi, radio friendly and gets instant on the ear.

Never change a winning team. For years we've seen Danish entrants coming to the Eurovision Song contest very well prepared. 2015 is no different.

Anti Social Media have stuck very closely to the performance like we know it from the Danish national final. Even their costumes are similar, if not exactly the same. And that's pretty fine by me. The 60'ies pop of the band, comes fully to its right on the big stage, and it's really a gigantic stadium filler. It's main colours on the stage are black and white.

Adequately sung, as you would expect from the Danish, who have a very solid first rehearsal. Consistence is the key to success.

Should have no problem qualifying.

Denmark Huit Points!
