Why bands are disappearing: 'Young people aren’t excited by them'
www.theguardian.com
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was scoffed at for suggesting there ‘aren’t any bands any more’ – but if you look at the numbers, he’s right. Wolf Alice, Maximo Park and industry insiders ask why

I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    That’s another reason I am thinking niche music has killed the cover band.

    There’s no way a band can cover a wide enough range of todays music to make a $5 ticket viable.
