Passed is a Hungarian band formed in the summer of 2014. Their influences include Gabor Szabo and Carlos Santana.[1] The members are twins of Polish origin, singer Dorottya and harpist Fanni Nizalowski from Budapest, bassist Dávid Godzsák, an ethnic Hungarian from Királyhelmec, Slovakia, and producer Levente Szabó from Sárospatak. One of their main goals for Passed is to bring back the harp into modern pop culture. The band is most notable for participating in A Dal 2015, the national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Mesmerize". The song was able to get from the first heat with the highest amount of points (43), to progressing from the second semi-final with 43 points again. In the final, the song received no points from the judges, so the song was not eligible to be chosen to represent Hungary in the Eurovision.
