Each of these is a node in the dom that can be found, and then parsed for a band name. In this page each div of class="grid-media" can be read for the artist name of the a link from the URL. Going further down the node classes in the DOM "grid-media">"desc-layer">"desc-details">"grid-title" h2 styled div has the name as a readable character string.
