Behold the Glory of the Discoverinator!
Some things you may be wondering: Why? What? There are hundreds of thousands of albums on Bandcamp, but no easy way to browse through them and find your new favorite band. So we set out to build something that would take what we love most about traditional record stores — the serendipitous discovery that happensContinue reading “Behold the Glory of the Discoverinator!”
Staff Picks
We’ve got a new staff picks section on the home page, you can check it out here. It’s updated daily with favorites from the Bandcamp crew, and covers a seriously wide range of musical taste. The now-retired Album of the Week was a good start, but we wanted to feature more music, and everyone hereContinue reading “Staff Picks”
Cheaper than Free
A few months ago, we began tracking the starting point of every sale that happens on Bandcamp. In the course of looking at the data (which we’re using to help us plan out what to do next), we’ve noticed something awesome: every day, fans are buying music that they specifically set out to get forContinue reading “Cheaper than Free”
How We Work, Selling Right Now

Bio, photo, and links sidebar
You can now display your bio, photo and links in your sidebar. Above, for example, is what that looks like for Cristina Bautista.

U.S. Patent Application 12,973,070: Inter-net Shopping “Cart”
It’s true, every Bandcamp-powered site now has a shiny new shopping cart. You can add stuff to it, remove stuff from it, and even umm…check out. And yet we’re sincerely excited about it, and think you should be too. Why? Well that requires a story. It’s kind of long, but as you’ll see, that’s kindContinue reading “U.S. Patent Application 12,973,070: Inter-net Shopping “Cart””
Album Pre-orders
After you click play, below, be sure to click “HD” in the upper-right corner. We’ve just made it incredibly simple to create album pre-orders on Bandcamp. You can give fans one or more tracks immediately when they pre-order, and then when you release the record, we’ll automatically email those fans a link to download theContinue reading “Album Pre-orders”
