A band bio? No, thank you. It takes only a few seconds of clicking through websites and social-networking pages to witness the hilariously overinflated bios of what seem like a billion bands all vying for your attention and hard-earned dollars. They boast about all kinds of redundant accomplishments and exaggerated reviews and chart positions. They proudly list each and every member (names that mean nothing to you) and every previous band they ever played with (all ones you’ve never heard of or are D-list at best). If this band has John from “Deathgrinder” and Billy from “Skullraper,” does it really make the music stand out and draw you in? No. Do YOU care? No. Don’t feel bad because you’re not alone.

The truth is NOBODY cares. While all these bands are pushing their “new album you just gotta have” and racking up MySpace, YouTube, SoundClick, and friend counts using automated play boosters, friend adders, and every other type of heinous software out there, it’s easy to see that something has been lost along the way. It’s all about chart numbers, Soundscan, that three-minute song with the huge hook, or being a “star.” It’s not about music anymore; it’s about money and being a “star” - and it’s been that way for years. What used to be only a part of the mainstream pop industry has seeped into every other genre in music. Too much time is spent trying to fit into a mold you think will sell, too much time making a “perfect” album abused with Autotune and processed to the point that it’s completely lifeless, and just not enough time being “real.” It’s all wrong. Do you REALLY wonder why people aren’t buying albums anymore?
