Taylor's University College has given birth to many outstanding leaders of today, and there are many other current students that look to follow in that grain. In fact, there are currently circulating rumors that Linear Equation's frontman, Wayne, will be joining Taylor's next year. Linear Equation is an innovative Malaysian indie rock band that incorporates diverse genres into their playing style. They had a site at Futurebands.com that racked in over 4500 views and 600 plays. The site was recently closed after the admin quarreled with the band over numerous issues. Among some of the issues was the fact that the band was constantly in higher position than the admin's personal music site. Brendann, the webmaster, also was not pleased with the band's decision to point out typos and errors in the site.
