Delhi's 'The Super Fuzz BigMuff' won the prestigious Hero Honda Pepsi Campus Rock Idols-2005 national title amid stiff competition among more than 200 rock bands here last evening.
The winners will be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform alongside international rock icons besides cash prizes of Rs 75,000, Rs 50,000 and Rs 25,000 to top three winning bands.
The contest, 'parikrama', showcased the biggest amateur rock band talent of the year.
Other bands that participated included 'Joint Family' (winners of the Northern regional finals), 'Faith and Grungy Morphins' (winners of the Eastern regional finals) and 'Wax', 'Hush' (winners of the Southern regional finals) and Medusa from Mumbai (winners of the Western regional finals).
Goa witnessed an overwhelming response for the contest with thousands of youths across the country performing with great passion and zeal.
'Perestroika', one of the most popular Indian bands and last year's winners of the title, performed the closing act.
Wax from Bangalore was the first band to perform, followed by Medusa, Grungy, Super Fuzz BigMuff, Joint Family and others. The fierce competition witnessed bands playing everlasting hits like 'Monkey Off my Back' (Wax), 'Beep Off' (Medusa), 'Born in the Darkness of the Day' (Grungy Morphins) and 'Edge Crusher' (Joint Family).
They also played original compositions like 'Country Outlaw Woman' (Faith), 'Dark Ula' (The Super Fuzz BigMuff), 'Love on Death Row' (Hush) 'Drummer's Advice' (Joint family).
The bands were judged on the basis of originality, quality, crowd response, stage presence and individual instruments like the lead guitar, drums, base guitar and vocals.
The winning Delhi team comprised Sanchal (vocalist & guitar), Aditya Paharia (drums) and Nikhil Rufus Raj (Bass Guitar). ''It was the most fulfilling experience. Campus Rock Idols is one of the greatest platforms for upcoming rock bands to perform,'' according to Sanchal.
Guwahati-based band 'Faith' were the first runners up. 'Faith' consisted of Krishna Pradhan (lead guitar), Deepak Sakia (bass), Joy Khashyap (drums), Raja Rasaily (keys) and Joshua Neville Queah (vocals). 'Faith' has original compositions to their credit such as 'Country Outlaw Woman'.
Another Delhi based band 'Joint Family' consisted of Satchith (on guitars), Varun (on bass), Vishal (on drums), Anirudh (on guitar) and Aditya (vocals). It has had many original compositions to their credit such as 'Drummer's Advice', and 'Life is a Bitch'' and others. The band has also recorded their original music.
''The bands played serious music and they were all very professional. It's wonderful to see such young talented musicians pe rform,'' said Sonam Sherpa, a guitarist.
Prestorika, last year's winner, had become a nationally acclaimed band and been in demand at rock music gathering across India. It performed the opening act at the 'Rasmus' concert held in Mumbai and also at Bangalore.
