KAPOW! Blasts Into the Next Round on India’s Got Talent with Comic Rock Chaos
New Delhi, India – The stage of India’s Got Talent (IGT) has just witnessed one of its wildest entries yet. Indie band KAPOW! — known as India’s first “comic rock” group — entered the competition and immediately left the judges and audience stunned with a performance that combined theatrical humour, high-energy musicianship and chaos-in-the-best-way.
Wearing their trademark colourful pajamas and defying any rock genre boundary, KAPOW! delivered a set that featured dramatic staging, guitar riffs, comedic timing and a palpable sense of fun. The audience laughed, screamed, and applauded in near-shock as the band delivered their rock-meets-performance-art style. The show’s host and panel of judges quickly gave the thumbs up — propelling KAPOW! safely into the next round.
For fans of the band, this was no surprise: founded in 2018 in New Delhi, KAPOW! had already made a name for themselves with monthly song releases, drag-style album launches and a unique fusion of rock, Bollywood and theatrical storytelling. One review hails them as “equal parts fun and edgy… a comic book universe brought to life in musical form.” platform-mag.com+2The Hans India+2
Their IGT entry is especially timely: With India’s live-music scene booming and audiences craving more immersive, genre-bending acts, KAPOW! stands out as a band capitalising on that shift. Indulgexpress
Band front-man Mayank Mittal commented after their performance:
“We came to entertain, to surprise, to throw the rock show you never saw coming. That’s KAPOW!. On this stage we don’t guarantee safety — but we guarantee enjoyment.”
The journey ahead looks promising. With their viral online presence, cult following and now television spotlight, KAPOW! is poised to reach even broader audiences. Already featured in outlets like Rolling Stone India and The Hans India for their bold releases and theatre-rock hybrid shows, this IGT moment could be the launching pad into a new mainstream orbit.
