DigiHai

This 6 member group from Taiwan gleans their influences from Bad Religion, Moby and Aphex Twin. Their breakbeat/electronica sound with metal guitar has been described as "chemical" punk. I'm not sure why they sing all their songs in English and admittedly, the bad grammar does detract from the music every now and then. However, they are solid group with a lot of potential and are worth checking out to see how they grow over the years.
