In a world where solo artists top the charts and headline major festivals, bands are facing challenges previous generations never imagined. Is it the lack of role models or the rising costs of equipment, touring, and studio time? All this, while solo artists seem to break through from the comfort of their home studios.
As more musicians end up in backing bands for solo acts rather than forming groups of their own, it’s worth asking: What’s killing the band? Is it the financial strain, the shift to solo-driven productions, or simply a new era where solo artists are the new supergroups? Should bands adapt to survive in today’s industry or risk disappearing from the music scene altogether?
