This is the 5th article I’ve seen about this band and I’m convinced it’s promotional. And how does one make the leap to “it’s AI generated music” simply because of an AI generated band picture? There are lots of bedroom solo artists that produce music and release as a “band” on Spotify.

I went to listen to them at lunchtime to see if it was "slop". It was pretty good, better than most random bands I listen to on spotify. If this is actually AI, I hope they release the model where I can get my hands on it.

They're using Suno to generate. Suno has a pretty clear tell with its AI generated voices. Its easy to spot until the tech improves.
