  Sigh. I guess it’s time to go download FLAC copies of everything I have on Bandcamp.

  Goddamnit, Internet. Get your shit together.

    Ownership is being dissolved completely. The only ownership left will soon be those who own us.

      Or the ownership you defend. You won’t like how you’ll have to defend it, though.

      It won’t be the pen.

  Beyond just music, bandcamp is a great site to buy and sell (as a musician or indie label) physical merchandise.

  Independent musicians and labels rely on bandcamp. Most alternatives are cost prohibitive to “small” bands.

    A bunch of the small metal bands I support are only on bandcamp. Literally can not get thier music or merchandise anywhere else.

      Any you could share a link to? I’m always on the hunt for new music and I love metal.

        Check out the line up of bands under the Pelagic Records label. I keep finding gems there. I never heard The Ocean Collective before recently, I’m absolutely loving rhier old stuff. New stuff is good too bit its a bit James Maynard/perfect circle kind of preachy.
