Lucas Woodland has blasted an AI-assisted band, reportedly called Bleeding Verse, for gaining more Spotify listeners than Holding Absence. The vocalist also claimed “these models are literally trained off [his] band.”
Woodland said the following in a series of tweets:
“So, an AI “band” who cite us as an influence (ie, it’s modelled off our music) have just overtaken us on Spotify, in only TWO months.
It’s shocking, it’s disheartening, it’s insulting – most importantly – it’s a wake up call.
Oppose AI music, or bands like us stop existing.”
“’What can we do?’ – I believe we can only lobby for transparency now. Those artists should have “AI” on their Spotify artwork, so that playlists can’t sneak them onto playlists. Otherwise, violently support real music. Buy merch. Attend shows. That’s the most we can do for now”
“‘Make better music’ was my favourite take btw. These models are LITERALLY TRAINED OFF MY BAND lmao. And then releasing songs at a pace physically impossible to replicate Chess robots have been beating human world champions for 30 years now. ‘Get good’ is a petulant opinion.”
