I’m pretty out of touch, but even I know these bands. With the segmentation of the music media market post-streaming revolution, it’s really difficult for rock bands to break as big as they could back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. For those who do manage to find success, they often have to grind for a really long time to get it unless they have nepotism behind them or are a straight up industry plant.

Gone are the days when bands would get noticed by label scouts after a handful of shows around their hometown, release an album a year later, and within 2 years of founding the band be headlining a world tour.
