https://community.spotify.com/t5/Content-Questions/An-artist-is-on-Spotify-but-I-can-t-play-them/m-p/3353779#M21222 <P>I searched for the band The Blank Theory on the Desktop app but nothing showed up. I messaged the band and they were confused as they said they are on Spotify. They even showed me a screenshot of their Spotify page showing all their songs. Indeed I searched on Google and found their artist page which shows they exist and have 1,074 followers. Here’s the link to their artist page: <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3s4QalxVf7tJzEqwuK4OA7" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/artist/3s4QalxVf7tJzEqwuK4OA7</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>However, when I click "play" here on the web player nothing happens. In summary, **bleep** is going on here? The band is clearly on Spotify, I can’t find them in the Desktop app, however I can then find them in the web player when I Google, but I can't play any of their songs! Does anyone have an explanation for this?</P> Wed, 22 Nov 2017 00:14:35 GMT FrostedKrispie 2017-11-22T00:14:35Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Content-Questions/An-artist-is-on-Spotify-but-I-can-t-play-them/m-p/3353779#M21222 <P>I searched for the band The Blank Theory on the Desktop app but nothing showed up.
