Notes

Bandcamp is an American onlinemusic company founded in 2008 by Oddpost^[2] co-founder Ethan Diamond and programmers Shawn Grunberger, Joe Holt and Neal Tucker;^[3][4][5][6] the company is headquartered in Oakland, California.^[7]

Model[edit]

Artists and labels upload music to Bandcamp and control how they sell it, setting their own prices, offering fans the option to pay more ^[8] and selling merchandise.

Fans are able to download their purchases or stream their music on the Bandcamp app/site only once or unlimited times by preserving the purchase voucher. They can also send purchased music as a gift,^[9] view lyrics, and save individual songs or albums to a wish list. Uploading music to Bandcamp is free, and the company takes a 15% cut of sales made from their website (in addition to payment processing fees), which drops to 10% after an artist's sales surpass $5000.^[10]

Downloads are offered both in lossy formats as MP3 (320k or V0), AAC and Ogg Vorbis and in lossless formats as FLAC, ALAC, WAV and AIFF. ^[11] In addition to digital downloads artists may offer the purchase of their music on physical media such as CD or vinyl.

Bandcamp’s website offers users access to an artist’s page featuring information on the artist, social media links, merchandising links and listing their available music. Artists can change the look of their page, and to customize its features.^[12] In 2010 the site enabled embedded/shared links in other social media sites.^[13]

Notable artists and labels[edit]

Bandcamp gained much attention in July 2010 when Amanda Palmer, Low Places and Bedhed gave up their record labels and started selling albums on Bandcamp, using Twitter for promotion.^[14][15]

Several indie gamedevelopers published their game soundtracks on Bandcamp,^[when?] including the creators of Aquaria, Bastion, Sanctum, Machinarium, Terraria, Plants vs. Zombies, Limbo, Super Meat Boy, To the Moon, Fez, and Minecraft.^{[importance?]}

In December 2014, Bandcamp for Labels was launched. Popular independent labels such as Sub Pop, Fat Wreck Chords, Relapse Records and Epitaph Records launched their own Bandcamp pages.^[16]

In November 2019, Peter Gabriel added his complete solo catalog to Bandcamp.^{[citation needed]}

Bandcamp Daily[edit]

In the summer of 2016, the company launched Bandcamp Daily, an online music publication which expanded its editorial content and offers articles about artists on the platform.^[17][18] The publication is based in New York.^[7] Its managing editor is Jes Skolnik, a writer for Pitchfork, BuzzFeed and The New York Times, as well as former author of punk zines.^[19] Among Bandcamp Daily's columnists there have been writers of Wired,^[20]Vice,^[21]NPR Music,^[22]Pitchfork^[23] and Paste.^[24]

On August 4, 2017, the staff of Bandcamp Daily donated all the sales proceeds from the day to the Transgender Law Center, a civil rights organization for transgender people.^[25]

In February 2018, the audience of Bandcamp Daily had increased by 84% since last year.^[18][26]
