Midnight Pulse was a local Miami rock group that had been grinding in the underground scene for two years.
Leo Carter, the frontman, had formed the band straight out of high school with his three friends: Eli on lead guitar, Finn on bass, and Jax on the drums. They spent their days practicing in his parents garage and their nights playing at local dive bars for practically nothing.
Two years ago, they thought they had finally caught their big break. A self-produced song they uploaded had randomly caught the algorithm and racked up over a million streams.
For a few weeks, they felt like they had made it. But the harsh reality of the music industry quickly set in. A million streams on an independent track barely paid enough to cover their rent.
