Everything else we checked
- Live shows 13 shows listed at 12 venues, 5 of them upcoming. A generated act does not book venues and play them.
- Back catalogue Releases go back to 2014, before generative music tools were usable.
- MusicBrainz Catalogued on MusicBrainz, active since 2013, US, group. See the record
- Audience 235,304 followers — people who chose to follow, not just listeners a playlist delivered.
- Release pattern 22 releases spread over 10 years or more — a normal working pace.
- Presence elsewhere We hold no website, Bandcamp or social links for this act — though we may simply never have collected them.
Some of these checks may look inconclusive on their own — a band can be missing from MusicBrainz or release quickly. They do not change the answer. The gig history settles it.
