“Performing in Quebec was equal parts surreal and amazing. We met fantastic musicians from all over the globe, worked with professionals on a world-class festival stage and of course, immersed in the beautiful history and heritage that Eastern Canada had to offer…. oh and poutine. Obscenely irresponsible amounts of poutine.” -WolfRed, Bamboo Star

Winners of PlanetRox China 2013 –Shotgun Politics from Hong Kong:
“Planetrox was probably the best thing to happen to our band. The opportunity to travel to another part of the world and play your music at a festival with your best friends is an experience that cannot be underestimated. When all of us first picked up our instruments as frustrated teenagers, we would play make believe of playing massive concerts. Anybody in a band who tells you otherwise is lying!”

2013 年勝出樂隊, 來自澳門的Shotgun Politics:
“Planetrox是我們樂隊遇過最好的一件事,有機會到世界另一端參與音樂節、分享我們的音樂,當中的得著不能低估。年青時首次執起樂器組成樂隊,大家都希望最終能踏上大型演出舞台,說毫不期待這些機會是不可能的!” – Shotgun Politics,
