The Last Dinner Party, a rising band in the music industry, has been accused of being an "industry plant." This term refers to a band or musician who is backed by music industry bigwigs in their early stages, seemingly without having to prove themselves first. The band has been signed to a major label, Island Records, since their emergence, which has led some to question their legitimacy as a genuine artist.
The term "industry plant" is often used as an insult, implying that an artist is not a "real" artist with a genuine persona, but rather a curated product created by the music industry. It suggests that the artist did not work for their success or "pay their dues" in the industry, but rather was handed opportunities and support from the start.
The accusation against The Last Dinner Party has sparked a larger conversation about the role of the music industry in shaping the careers of emerging artists.
The music industry has long been criticized for its lack of transparency and its tendency to favor established artists over newcomers.
Even more suspiciously, they had big-name management and were signed to a major label (Island Records) from the moment they emerged.
