The band is real, but the singer is a more or less fictional character. Same may go for the rest of the band. There are two categories of examples: "Real Life Music" for bands that exist in real life, and "other media" for bands that are a Show Within the Show. Just like with wrestlers, a Kayfabe singer's real identity may be an open secret. That is, not secret at all but not polite to talk about in context. The fans are likely to be outraged if the singer goes out of character during an interview. Compare "Kayfabe" from Professional Wrestling. One subtrope is Robot or Spaceman Alter Ego. Contrast Anonymous Band, where the musicians simply hide their identities, and Fake Band, where the band itself is fictional. May not always have a "Concept Album", but you can sometimes expect the band's lore and backstory to be told through concept albums if they do have one. |

The County Medical Examiners are two Carcass-loving physicians joined by a much older, avant-garde physician who play Death Metal based on what they see in their field. After years of mystery, it was implied in 2012 that the whole band was simply a side-project of musician Matt Widener (ex-Exhumed/Cretin). | |

In Pondus, Pondus believes that a certain rock band truly lives the creed of "Drugs, Sex & Rock'n'Roll". In one strip, the band is shown working out and eating healthy food. Suddenly their manager come in and yell at them that the journalists will be there any minute. And thus, they quickly trash themselves down to look as if they have been partying and boozing up all night. Then the scene switches to Pondus and his wife watching the television. A journalist is (or probably rather is pretending to be) surprised that the band members manage to stay healthy with this lifestyle. The singer explains this with "It's rock'n'roll, baby. It becomes a lifestyle." and Pondus tries to get his wife to accept this message as gospel. | |

The Japanese metal band SEIKIMA-II performs as a group of Akuma (demons) from the futuristic hyper-evolved dimension Makai that preach a demonic religion and aim to take over the world through their music. They were destined to disband at the end of the century (seikimatsu, another way to say the band's name, means "century's end", as any Fist of the North Star fan knows), but they've reunited several times since, once in response to the Touhoku earthquake and tsunami disaster. | |

The very first story in Schlock Mercenary had the mercenaries under contract as bodyguards for the Boy Band "New Sync Boys". It turned out the band members were all holograms controlled by a single AI, who was so disgusted by the whole thing that he ran away by stowing away in their ship's computer and later joining officially under the name 'Ennesby'. A young woman who joins the crew years later is very upset when she meets him and learns the truth, having been emotionally devastated when the publisher covered it up by claiming they all died in a shuttle accident. | |

The YouTube channel SiIvaGunner has this to a certain extent. It's a wholesale impersonation of another YouTuber that uploaded Game Music, so no credit is given and the channel is dolled up to look like it's just some guy archiving their favorite soundtracks for fun, while in reality it's a large amount of people working behind the scenes to make remixes of those songs. However, it is downplayed: every video's description asks the viewer to "please read the channel description", with said description having a disclaimer in regards to this Anonymous Band aspect (though it comes just shy of mentioning that it's a Bait-and-Switch channel). Completely averted on the Bandcamp however, where all songs are credited to the correct artist. Strangely enough, this applies In-Universe too: the channel initially had a faux-Author Avatar character named SiIvaGunner, but he was supplanted via Hostile Show Takeover by The Voice. The effect of this to the channel's mannerisms? On the "bait" side of things, pretty much nothing—the "read the channel description" part was rephrased to better fit The Voice, but that's it. The Voice was later supplanted himself by Haltmann, who again acted mostly the same with only the one line being switched. Haltmann eventually invoked kayfabe by setting up an AI to act like the original SiIvaGunner. (Also, the proper artist credits on the Bandcamp are said to be unreadable corrupted data to all characters except the one Fourth-Wall Observer.) | |

Swedish rock band Ghost consists of a rotating masked band and frontman Tobias Forge in costume as one of several characters, currently Papa Emeritus IV, formerly known as Cardinal Copia.
