All artist sites on Bandcamp now work and look great on mobile. We’ve optimized everything for the smaller screen and touch interface, so your albums look fantastic, fans can browse through your merch store with ease, and the checkout flow is fast and intuitive: Does this mean you expect my fans to launch their mobileContinue reading “Every Bandcamp site is now an awesome mobile site”

Merch!
One of our most frequent feature requests is for a standalone merch section, so you can list t-shirts, posters and so on, independently of albums. Plenty of you have done clever things to work around this deficiency, creating, for example, one-track “albums” titled “t-shirt,” or painstakingly adding dozens of merch items to whatever is yourContinue reading “Merch!”
New Features Up!
We’re launching lots of new stuff today, let’s get right to it: New Album Editor We’ve dramatically streamlined the album creation and editing process. You can now modify an entire album’s worth of tracks in a single UI, and save drafts of your albums as you work on them. We’ve also switched uploads to useContinue reading “New Features Up!”
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!”
Facebook App!
Here’s how to set it up, and here’s what people are saying:
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. In the past, we’ve seen artists resort to placing their links and bio in each of their albums’ liner notes (where the information just gets buried), so we’re excited to provide anContinue reading “Bio, photo, and links sidebar”
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”
Recommended Albums
Our favorite part of Filter Magazine is the band interview section in the front. Not for the interviews themselves (though those are plenty good), but for the little section at the bottom, where the band tells you about three albums that they love. It’s a reliable source of new discoveries, and each band’s tweet-length blurbsContinue reading “Recommended Albums”
Upcoming Shows
“Hey, when are you going to have a feature for listing my shows/concerts? I love Bandcamp but until I can post my gigs here, I still need to refer fans to [other site that shall remain nameless] (which I don’t like) or [another site that will also remain nameless] (which I hate). Love, Heidi” TheContinue reading “Upcoming Shows”
