Amidst the chaos, Rosemerry and The Works. “Black was not what I had voted for, I voted for Rosemerry and Amidst the Chaos, but I got outnumbered by others on the panel. But, Black did play with a lot of soul, that’s why they stood out from the rest,” said Rohit ‘P-Man’ Pareira, bassist of PDV, who was one of the judges.
