We regret to inform you that we'll be removing all of our music from Spotify in the coming weeks.
"Recently, it was discovered that Spotify's CEO, Daniel Ek, is leading an investment of around $700 million into the European defense tech startup Helsing through his venture capital firm Prima Materia.
Founded in 2021, Helsing is a German military tech firm that develops AI-based warfare systems, such as battlefield drone surveillance, cybersecurity tools, aircraft, submarines, and more. ".
I'm not making music to make money to help kill people. If you want to pay to listen to music, and have your money go towards killing, then that's your decision.
Although the above reason was the final nail in the coffin, this is not our only reason.
Spotify has slowly become flooded with AI music. Spotify clearly only care about profit and not music and artists. For years small bands and artists have been paid a pittance by Spotify. Bands like ourselves are lucky to make $100 a year from Spotify. Like most small independent bands, the only reason we stuck around was for exposure.
Although I'm sure a little band like us will make hardly any impact, we are people of principle. The time has come to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. By subscribing to Spotify you are part of the problem.
"One person won't make a difference"? What if tens of thousands of people think the same? You can make Spotify the new myspace.
You can find us on our official
bandcamp page.
