=== 1950-present ===
Their 2023 debut album [https://open.spotify.com/album/4CYj7vVIsvoNnrXpHRbCyJ ''50!''] was named in honor of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNdGdYseRUw Episode 50] as well as the non-[[Skeleton Realm LIVE! Calendar|SRL! Calendar]] year of their initial formation, 1950. Past members include Pip Dixon of the [[Mississippi Delta Boys]], PeePee Mallerd of [[The Me and My big Time Buddies Band]], and [[Lil StankBug]], as well as hundreds of other affiliated artists that have gone uncredited.
Throughout the late 20th century The Band released dozens of rare singles, EPs, albums, and [[wikipedia:Mixtape|"mixtapes"]] that have largely been lost to time or removed from circulation by government censors concerned with their content. Hardcore Realmer fans and [[wikipedia:Gatekeeper|"gatekeepers"]] of The Band have restored and documented the damaged remains of some of these early releases, and trade bootlegs through underground networks and obscure online forums. Fans around the world rejoiced when they reunited once again in 2023 and released new material.

Many very important critics have said that The Band's impact on the music industry and culture in general is so global and epic that it's almost immeasurable. They have sold an incredible amount of t-shirts with their logo on it, and many physical and digital copies of their music to match.

Although many music historians have credited the more commercially successful English music group [[wikipedia:The_Beatles|The Beatles]] with popularizing the form of the modern [[wikipedia:Rock_Band|"rock band,"]] in recent decades many historians have argued that The Band's early years touring through small venues in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. were foundational to modern music culture in a way that the industry ignored for a variety of reasons. The Band's career has been the subject of numerous popular documentaries and books, and continues to influence young musicians, artists, and [[Young Thought Leaders in Media|"Brand Thought Leaders."]]
