Make some noise!

Beijing has a reputation for a thriving live music scene and with a Beijing-based band representing China at the World Final, the whole world will see what the country has to offer.

Rustic impressed the 12-judge panel in the national finals, beating regional winners from Macao, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

When their victory was announced, the trio jumped around the stage, and guitarist-singer Li Yan grabbed the microphone to shout: "I was born on a farm. I moved to Beijing and chose rock 'n' roll because I didn't want to be a farmboy all my life."
