Halloween is over, but we still have Bandcamp FridayLeor Galilon November 1, 2022 at 9:59 pm

If you perk up when you hear the phrase “Bandcamp Friday,” then you probably already know that its 25th iteration arrives November 4. For 24 hours, the digital retailer passes along its usual share of sales revenue to the independent artists and labels whose work has made the platform such a success. (Epic Games purchased Bandcamp earlier this year, so these days your PayPal receipt will tell you that you’ve paid “Bandcamp, an Epic Company.”) 

As usual, I rounded up recent Reader stories that mention music you can buy via Bandcamp. This is the shortest list in many months—not because we’ve covered less music, but because not every artist we write about sells through Bandcamp. And of course we also run stories about people who don’t make music but contribute to it in other ways—which reminds me, you should make sure to read Micco Caporale’s deep dive on Avondale hot spot Podlasie Club. In any case, if you want more Reader recommendations, you can follow the trail of lists I linked to in last month’s Bandcamp Friday roundup. Happy listening!
