The second coming of RBD was bound to pop up...

Most fans prayed for a Rebelde miracle, but instead they found the devilish goodness of Kudai. Tomás Cañas, Pablo Holman, Bárbara Sepúlveda, Gabriela Villalba make up the Chilean pop-rock group that replaced the bubblegum look for black eye-liner and jeans. You can site visual differences between las bandas, but their musical tastes fall from the same tree. RBD musical producer Carlos Lara helped create their Grammy-nominated album,  "Nadha," which topped the charts in Mexico and Latin America.

MTV News caught up with Kudai to find out what they had to say about being compared to RBD. Do you think they are filling the Rebelde void?
