Pinoy band MTV Emerge

MANILA, Nov. 30 (PNA)– Seven new and promising rock bands rocked the stage in friendly competition for the best band at the Music Hall of the SM Mall of Asia over the weekend when they performed live in front of hundreds of viewers and a board of judges composed of MTV Philippines’ Georgette Tengco, MTV SEA and Greater China’s head of content, Sari Trisulo, rock singer Rico Blanco and actress/singer Karylle.

The judges voted “Faircatch,” barely a year old rock/experimental band that thrives by composing straightforward but catchy songs influenced by numerous artists from a mixture of different genres ranging from rock to alternative, as the winner among the competing bands.

Faircatch earned the judges’ nod because of their creativity, originality of their craft, their crowd appeal as live performers, innovativeness of their lyrics and melody. (more…)
