The notion of fake bands has been a hot topic of conversation in recent months. There’s been a rise in AI-driven, aural likenesses of real artists, and an increasing glut of algorithmically-generated tracks being framed as the work of ‘new’ bands. It seems, in 2025, that the space between the music we listen to and knowing exactly who is behind it seems to be widening.
It's a very modern concern, you might think, but ‘fake’ versions of bands are actually nothing new.
