Hey my Friends, so today is what is referred to as “Bandcamp Friday” and outside of sharing the news about the network being acquired by Epic Games back in March (seen HERE ICYMI), I’ve not really used the powers of the website to help extol its virtues. Before going further, let’s get the complete “what is this anyway” out of the way.
What Is Bandcamp Friday: Bandcamp Fridays allow artists and labels releasing music to take back 93% of the money earned through sales, with the other 7% being used for processing fees and charges. Launched on the first Friday of March in 2020, Bandcamp Fridays normally take place on one Friday a month (usually the first).
With that being said, I guess the best way to help promote any artists that are using this service is to say “Hey Bands!!! If you are on Bandcamp please comment down below with your link and a couple of words about the music you play. Also, you don’t only have to be a Metal band as I’d love to hear from the Punk, Progessive and Power or Hard Rockers out there. Sure conventional traditional Rock counts as well. Anything that will let our readers be in your corner a little more. I’m going to try and keep up with this sort of news when each one rolls around and make it one of our general announcements. Let’s bring it on my music minded friends and followers. Support those artists on a day when they can actually make some scratch and buy new equipment or merch and pay for gas on those treks onto the road from gig to gig. See you next time, please stay safe out there.
PS: In the event that some are seeing this AFTER the Official Bandcamp Friday, I still encourage the comments be left because anything focused on this topic will be immediately approved. Perhaps someone will hear you and save you to favorites and look into purchasing right away or on the next Bandcamp Friday. Thanks for listening.
