Today, February 5th is Bandcamp Friday. Today if you purchase music from a band/bands on Bandcamp, they will receive 100% of the revenue. Here is what Bandcamp has to say about Bandcamp Fridays:
On the first Friday of every month since March, we’ve waived our revenue share to help support the many artists who have seen their livelihoods disrupted by the pandemic. Over the course of these nine days, fans paid artists and labels $40 million dollars, helping cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and much more. If you’re among the nearly 800,000 fans who participated, thank you.
Although vaccines are starting to roll out, it will likely be several months before live performance revenue starts to return. So we’re going to continue doing Bandcamp Fridays in 2021, on February 5th, March 5th, April 2nd, and May 7th. As always, isitbandcampfriday.com has the details.
There are some great bands with some amazing music out there on Bandcamp. Here are some Brainfart recommendations for some new music. Feed your head, folks and support music. We need music now more than ever and the bands/artists need us.
