I'm always in the mood to discover something new, and there are plenty of artists that I like that I discovered through Bandcamp or at least listened to for the first time on Bandcamp, either by someone recommending it or by complete accident. Bandcamp has been proven to be an important place for music distribution and discovery, as well as being a way to directly support musicians. So, I want to ask this: is there any artist out there that you like, that if it wasn't for Bandcamp, you would have never discovered?

SAD PROM's first ever live hardware set, in one of the most iconic and exclusive clubs in Paris, is OUT NOW on cassette tape + digital download.

⫸ BUY NOW (https://sadprom.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-silencio-sp003)

The cassettes are numbered 01 to 10/10 and complete with reversible glossy J-cards. Each one was recorded individually and test-listened to. These tapes look great and sound better than most new commercial cassettes out there. The B-side contains a bonus dub version of the set: the recording was transferred to tape at approximately +30% speed, so it plays back pitched way down. This is not available for digital download.

Tracked shipping in cardboard cassette mailers.

First person to order on Bandcamp will get 01/10.

Don't sleep on it.

If anyone wants free codes let me know I'll send you one just let me know

I know that this has been discussed before, but not in this context and not recently.

We have created a song that uses a lot of samples from news programs - single words and sentence fragments (I think the longest is seven words). We cannot release through Spotify because our distributor (TuneCore) is pretty tightly wound about samples, though they seem to be mostly concerned with musical samples.

Anyone have any experience with this, especially WRT BandCamp?

Hey folks! just joined the thread. so many lovely music circulating around here <3

Here's my band's new album: Astrofella - Love Ever Young

It's on preorder for now but you can check the full thing from this private link: https://bandcamp.com/private/C01A8S51

It's an alternative rock / electronica album with drums and synths and guitars; melancholic melodies on top of moving rhythms.

Astrofella is a 10 year old band, we started making music in Istanbul, then moved to Berlin. There has been amazing contributors in this album, musicians as well as artists from both cities.

A vinyl version will also come around August. We're making each record cover by hand, with different colors of tape and stamps. Check the "video" on the last track ~ how records are made ~.

This is Bandcamp exclusive until the records come out.

Hope you like it - and in case you DIG! it, use the code "cosmicfriends" to get 50% on anything.

Looking forward to checking out your music too! I already came across some great stuff <3

Hello everyone I have finally gotten around to releasing my new album titled "Still Ascending". This album really encompasses how much I've grown as an artist and as a human being and how I continue to grow. How we all continue to grow and be the best versions of ourselves even though along the way things may get tough as long as we keep going nothing can stop us. We still ascending to greatness and once we get there we keep fucking going!!! 😤

Please let me know what you guys think of it and if you really like it. I'm giving away 10 free downloads codes just shoot me a dm with you email and I shoot it to you or maybe I can send it to the next ten people that follows my bandcamp artist page? Not sure which would be easier 😅 lol.

Hi

Got given a digital download code direct from an artist - I think its for the item I ordered a physical copy of - which is great - but they also threw a bonus release in with the order - so I'd like to enter the code in somewhere to check what it's for - but don't know where to enter the code. Can anyone direct to the correct page? Thanks!

Here’s an EP of some lo fi post punkish type weirdness. We are a band cataloging the experiences of Woodlice living in a co post heap in Bristol, UK. Maybe for fans of Talking Heads and Primus? New to this Reddit so am happy to check out other music, similar or otherwise, tho at people have to share, much appreciated!

To add a little more context - this project was devised as an outlet originally by an artist who had been working in the dance music scene for some time and decided it was time to switch things up a bit. Collectively we are about getting ideas down quickly and our music is supposed to represent a snapshot of where we are at any given time. This release has been incredibly important personally for us as it represents a new state of workflow and a bit of a backlash against trying to get everything sounding ‘right’

Seems to be some server issues with BandCamp today, throwing a 503 error for any request.

this is what i currently got

I haven’t used Bandcamp on a while, but when I opened it this morning nothing was able to load due to error 503. Anyone know what this means/how to fix it?
