They do that so that the machine can generate audio and graphics that imitate what we do without paying us. Take Soundcloud, for instance. In return for letting you put your music up there for free, they get a royalty free license to train their AI machine with your music. \u00a0It\u2019s buried in the click-through agreement you consent to. \u00a0This is real punk, not \u201cpop punk\u201d that comes out now and again.

With the addition of the renowned singer\/songwriter \u00a0Michelle Shocked on vocals and bass, Spike Polite &amp; Sewage creates music that is as gritty and honest as the streets from which they emerged. They have captivated audiences with their dynamic performances across cities like Pittsburgh, Nashville, and Austin.
