Rock Band From India Brings the House Down on AGT—Even Simon Cowell Was Speechless
Season 20 of America’s Got Talent is in full swing—and one band from Sikkim, India, just stole the spotlight in a way that no one saw coming.
Girish and the Chronicles (GATC), a hard rock quartet known for their electrifying stage presence, lit up the June 3rd episode with a performance that had all four judges—and the entire audience—on their feet. Their bold choice? A fiery, full-throttle rock rendition of Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain.”
What happened next was pure TV magic.
“I don’t know what it is about you,” said Mel B, still breathless from the performance. “But I think you’re one of my favorite acts so far this season!” Even Simon Cowell, known for his famously tough critiques, was thoroughly impressed. “You can’t fake the reaction behind this,” he said. “They liked you, and we liked you. By the way, your voice is lovely.”
Social media erupted almost immediately after the episode aired, with fans from around the world praising the band’s unexpected song choice, charisma, and killer vocals.
“What is going on? These guys are amazing!”
“Their performance rivals—and honestly beats—many famous rock bands!”
“The world is not ready for GATC! Rock and roll is here to stay! 🤘”
