Upstart Punk Rockers Hit the Warped Tour

Just when you think punk rock has become nothing more than cookie cutter pretty boys who love to whine and wear skinny jeans, a band like The Bots comes along and reminds you of how daring, bold and fun the genre can truly be. Seventeen year old Mikaiah Lei plays guitar and sings and his brother, thirteen year old Anaiah Lei plays the drums. Don’t let their ages fool you.

The Bots are loud, aggressive and they are the shot in the arm punk rock has been waiting for. The drum/guitar duo has a self titled disc (affectionately titled, Self Titled Disc) and it is chock full of energy and intensity and the boys have already graced the stages of The Whisky and the Roxy in Hollywood.
