Often, members of the most popular bands have access to disposable resources like money and time. Sadly, for most struggling to make it, things like work, family, or intergenerational poverty make it nearly impossible to rise in the ranks of the music world. Sometimes, very talented bands are simply unable to showcase their abilities for the masses due to a lack of these resources. That's why when one talented band didn't have the money to pay the fee to submit to a local festival, the promoter lept into action, quickly filling the spot with his own band instead.
