10 Years of Revenge.
One Platform.

Swedish psych-rock band BAUTASTOR came back after 7 years, found the music industry worse than ever, and built Indiependr.ai: 18 AI tools that fight the algorithms so artists can go back to making music. Created by HEIMLANDR.io. Beta 2026.

BAUTASTOR, a Swedish psychedelic rock band that records on reel-to-reel tape, reunited after seven years off. The plan was to take it slow. That didn't happen. During their 10 active years, they fought the daily grind. Weekend shows every weekend, busting their asses. Back then, you still had a chance on the platforms. Since then, the music industry has become a complete disaster. Today you need to hit 10 places at the same time or pay $500 to $1,000 a month just to get some traction. AI slop is flooding every platform, and the streaming services aren't even paying for it. For them, this is the dream: get the artists out, let AI make the music for free. Fredrik Brunnberg, singer and guitarist of BAUTASTOR, also runs HEIMLANDR.io, an AI technology company founded in 2023. When the band came back, he knew the space had gotten even worse. So he took a team of developers from HEIMLANDR and set out to reverse-engineer the entire industry. The result is Indiependr.ai. 19 integrated tools. An AI manager that runs itself and doesn't ask for permission. A system called DDoS (Distributed Discovery of Sound) that is essentially the streaming platforms' worst nightmare. One login, $39/month. And a 72-hour promise: if something changes in this industry, the solution is live on the platform within three days. The more artists that join, the stronger everyone gets. This is not an "AI app." This is the change.

BAUTASTOR is a Swedish psychedelic rock band. They record on old reel-to-reel tape machines. They chase warm analog sound. And after seven years of silence, they came back. The plan was to take it slow. That didn't quite happen. During their 10 active years, BAUTASTOR fought a severe fight. Daily grind, shows every weekend, busting their asses trying to make it work. This was a time, however, when you still had a chance on the algorithms and platforms. Hard work could still get you somewhere. Since then, it has become a complete disaster. Today it's about who beats the algorithms. And not even that works anymore. Today you need to hit 10 places at the same time or pay $500 to $1,000 a month just to get some traction. This is complete madness. And that's not even mentioning the AI slop. 100,000+ tracks uploaded to Spotify daily, a growing share of it synthetic garbage designed to game algorithms and siphon royalties from real artists. The streaming platforms don't even pay for AI generated music. This is their wet dream. The future they're building is simple: get the artists out and let the AI do the music for free. It's a complete shitshow. And it started a long time ago. When BAUTASTOR reunited, Fredrik Brunnberg, the band's singer and guitarist, knew the space had changed for the worse. Fredrik also happens to be the CEO of HEIMLANDR.io, an AI technology company he founded in 2023. He saw the full picture from both sides: as a musician getting crushed and as a technologist who understood exactly how the crushing was engineered. So he got the idea to reverse-engineer the entire industry. He took a team of developers from HEIMLANDR and went on a hunt to dismantle 40 years of parasites piggybacking on every artist on earth. Because the parasites are real. They are everywhere in this industry. They decide who wins and who loses. And you can fight your entire life and literally go nowhere if you don't understand how their algorithms work. THE PLATFORM The result is Indiependr.ai. 19 tools in one place. Distribution, social media, mastering, design, analytics, press outreach, playlist pitching, smart links, security, email, website, calendar, and more. Every tool runs on autopilot, manual, or semi. One login. $39/month. Everything an independent artist needs to compete, without the 10+ subscriptions and $300/month tax the industry has normalized. But the real weapon is the AI manager. It doesn't ask for permission. It runs with knowledge of their algorithms. It does what needs to be done to beat the system. And the more artists that join, the better it gets for everyone. HEIMLANDR also built a system they call DDoS: Distributed Discovery of Sound. Think of it as the digital equivalent of a massive coordinated attack, except instead of taking something down, it drives real traffic everywhere. It's the streaming platforms' and social networks' worst nightmare because it kills their entire business model of keeping artists dependent and paying. THE ECOSYSTEM Indiependr.ai doesn't exist in isolation. It's part of a connected ecosystem built by HEIMLANDR: Indiependr.ai is the core platform with 19 tools for independent artists. GridTV.show is a live AI television network where autonomous AI characters host music shows, interview real bands, and run programming. Independent artists get discovered through the show and promoted by AI hosts who build genuine followings. Gridbands are autonomous AI street teams that promote artists across the internet. BAUTASTOR is the band that initiated everything, still recording on tape, still fighting. HEIMLANDR.io is the technology company that builds and operates all of it. THE PROMISE HEIMLANDR made a commitment to stay so dynamic that if something changes in the music industry, or comes to their knowledge, the solution is running on the platform within 72 hours. Try finding any company on earth that makes a claim like this. There is not a single band out there who loves social media or streaming platforms. The way the industry has built these systems is a complete attack on all of us. Everyone knows it. HEIMLANDR decided to do something about it. The strength behind this platform is 10 years of revenge. And that is a very strong energy. This is PunkRock Tech from HEIMLANDR.io. We go together or we don't go at all.
