About Bandcamp
Bandcamp is a music platform where independent artists and labels sell digital downloads, vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and merchandise directly to fans. Listeners can stream tracks for free in the browser, then buy albums in lossless and lossy formats, often setting the price themselves on "name your price" releases.
The service is known for its artist-first economics: most of the revenue from each sale goes to the artist, and the recurring "Bandcamp Friday" events waive the platform's share entirely. The Bandcamp Daily editorial section, weekly podcast, and genre-spanning charts help listeners discover music outside of the algorithmic mainstream.
The mobile app lets fans stream their purchases offline, follow artists, and share collections, while the web is the main place to buy, browse, and explore label and tag pages.
