Germany | Revolverheld - "Lass uns gehen"

BRAND NEW

Continuing with our presenting the best entries from the Bundesvision Song Contest, it's time to check the winning song! The German band Revolverheld isn't a new name for Sounds European! fans, since they've appeared here twice before. They were the representatives for Bremen on the contest, with the catchy and vibrant "Lass uns gehen", and won it all with a lot of ease. We also loved it here, and that's why it's our song of the week!
