Pollapönk
Pollapönk are an Icelandic punk-inflected children's music band which represented Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark, with their song "No Prejudice".
==History==
Pollapönk was founded in 2006 by singer Heidar Örn Kristjánsson and lead guitarist Haraldur Freyr Gíslason, both of the rock band Botnleðja. The pair, who were studying to work as teachers, wanted to create music which could be enjoyed by both children and their broader families. Their debut album, the self-titled ''Pollapönk'', was created as the duo's graduation project from the Iceland University of Education. The following year, Haraldur's brother Arnar Þór Gíslason and Guðni Finnsson joined the band, playing drums and bass guitar, respectively. The quartet released a second album, entitled ''Meira Pollapönk'' ("More Pollapönk") in 2010. This was followed in 2011 by ''Aðeins Meira Pollapönk'' ("Just More Pollapönk").〔
In 2014, Pollapönk entered their song "Enga fordóma" in ''Söngvakeppnin 2014'', the contest to select Iceland's entry in that year's Eurovision Song Contest, winning from 297 total entries.〔 The song is a protest song on the evils of prejudice and bullying. This song was subsequently translated into English by American musician John Grant, under the title "No Prejudice", and was performed in this form for Eurovision.〔 Pollapönk's entry reached the Grand Final, where it placed 15th among the 26 finalists.
