  • Sleep Club’s Matt Jones: “Our Newest Single ‘Weight Of Ease’ Has Been Flagged By Spotify’s AI Driven Internal System”

    According to Sleep Club’s Matt Jones, the band’s “newest single ‘Weight of Ease’ has been flagged by Spotify’s Al driven internal system as ‘ineligible for recommendation.’” This is the second time the group have dealt with an issue like this.

    Jones commented:

    “SPOTIFY IS ONCE AGAIN FLAGGING OUR MUSIC AS EITHER GENERATED” OR “VIOLATING TERMS OF USE”

    For the 2nd time in two releases, our newest single “Weight of Ease” has been flagged by Spotify’s Al driven internal system as “ineligible for recommendation”. The first week of this single was the biggest we have ever had. A week after launch, the song appears to have been flagged, and we’ve (once again) seen all algorithmic support vanish.

    Algorithmic support is things things like “radio”, “personalized mixes”, “release radar”,”discover weekly”, etc. These outlets make up roughly 50-70% of the average artists total stream volume. When they vanish, it’s much harder to recoup the cost I sink into recording, gear, time not working my day jobs, etc. Particularly before we go on tour, which is very expensive, this is a hard pill to swallow.

    The good news is that this is an issue that Spotify has previously addressed and fixed. The last time this happened, it was the entirety of our catalog. This time, it’s just “Weight of Ease“. It took roughly 5 weeks to get our catalog “eligible for recomendation” again. I anticipate roughly the same wait here.

    As it stands, I have to wait to release the final single of the album, “Bruiser“, until this is all settled. It’s ironic that this album, which is about the intrusion of Al into every aspects of our lives, keeps getting flagged by Al systems incorrectly. It’d be more humorous if these things didn’t affect our debut album in such a way. The other good news is that given the now very slow rollout of this album, I’ve had plenty of time to really
    markedly improve its sound. When it does come out, I’ll be so excited to FINALLY share it with you all.

    See you all on the road – Matt“

  • Pearl Jam Frontman Eddie Vedder Thanks Abe Laboriel Jr. For “Sitting In On Drums”

    Pearl Jam vocalist/guitarist Eddie Vedder has taken to Instagram to thank Abe Laboriel Jr. for “sitting in on drums” at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, CA. It is still unclear if his role in the band is permanent.

    Vedder said the following:

    “Hello good humans,

    Just a quick note on this Monday morning to thank each and everyone who came out to Ohana Fest this year. Three days of great groups, all of whom were further energized by the pumped up vibes from a perfect crowd. You all made our tenth year so special and we are GRATEFUL.

    Also wanted to extend our further appreciation to Abe Laboriel Jr. sitting in on drums for PJ.

    It was a joy to play with him, and he’s obviously extraordinary at his craft. The man works and PLAYS hard.

    It is no wonder he’s been with the ultimate Maestro Paul McCartney and his mind blowing band for decades. Thank you so much for this weekend Abe. And thank YOU Paul. We owe you big time.

    — Eddie“

  • Story Of The Year Premiere “See Through” Video

    Story Of The Year have premiered a new video for their song “See Through.” That track is from their latest album “A.R.S.O.N.” (“All Rage, Still Only Numb”). The following was said about the video:

    “The music video for ‘See Through,’ directed by Jordan Phoenix, transports Story Of The Year to a mysterious laboratory, where frontman Dan Marsala takes on the role of a mad scientist determined to create his dream girl. But when the experiment takes an unexpected turn, his creation quickly descends into chaos. Quoting Gary Wallace in Weird Science, the band says, ‘Making a girl. Actually making a girl. Like Frankenstein…except cuter.’”
