Bandcamp

Bandcamp is an online music store and community where artists and labels sell their work directly to fans. Listeners can stream releases and buy digital music, vinyl records, compact discs, cassettes, T-shirts and gift cards, with the stated aim of directly supporting the people who make the music.

Discovery is a big part of the site: Bandcamp Daily publishes articles on new releases and niche genres, Bandcamp Radio airs weekly shows and artist interviews, and fans can build playlists inside their collections. Visitors can browse by genre, sub-genre and location, and special sales days called Bandcamp Friday are promoted on the homepage.

Bandcamp is a proprietary, hosted marketplace with accounts for fans and for artists. Fees and revenue shares are set by the platform, and artists decide their own prices for the music and merchandise they sell.
