Bandcamp Friday
Support indie music by making purchases on Bandcamp Fridays.Bandcamp waives it’s usual share of sales so the full amount goes to the artist (aside from a small fee). Bandcamp started doing Bandcamp Fridays to support musicians during the pandemic by giving them more $ per sale.
Resources
Only The Host
A thriving community of over 100 independent musicians. We have a Live stream Monday - Friday featuring new music on YouTube, Artist Pages on the website, along with Merch, Interviews and More.
Playlist Matrix
A supportive initiative for indie artists on Bandcamp, especially those with minimal exposure. Sponsors commit to buy music from these artists on Bandcamp Friday, aiming to increase artists visibility and listener base. Artists can participate by submitting a track or creating a Bandcamp playlist on bndcmpr.co, contributing to the 'Playlist Matrix.'Most musicians participating have agreed to drop tracks by 60% and anthologies by 70% - so not only will you be supporting artists, you'll get a lot more bang for the buck.A great alternative to the challenges faced by indie artists on platforms like Spotify, where they struggle to gain significant streams and exposure.
