TODAY ONLY – Bandcamp waiving revenue share + 100% of digital sales going directly to artists
IT'S MAY DAY!!!
Today's the big fee-free day over at Bandcamp and in the spirit of things we will be also be giving 100% of the profits from all digital sales directly to our artists.
Head over to the Polyvinyl Bandcamp page for new releases from Anna Burch, Hazel English, Yumi Zouma, plus STRFKR's newly announced album Future Past Life (very few Early Birds remain available, snag while you can). While you are there check out Stay Home – a 16-track compilation featuring previously unreleased music, demos, and covers from various artists on the Polyvinyl roster. Available exclusively on Bandcamp for Pay What You Want (starting at $5 USD), with all proceeds going directly to the artists involved. It's also your last chance to pre-order a limited edition Stay Home tee – PWYW starting at $15 (comes with a digital copy of the release) with 100% of profits going to the artists as well.
We greatly appreciate your generosity. Now is the time to support the bands whose music helped you when you needed it most. Spread the good word and take care of each other. The heroes of Bandcamp have shared the following about their new compassionate initiative –
On March 20, 2020, we waived our revenue share in order to help artists and labels impacted by the pandemic. The Bandcamp community showed up in a massive way, spending $4.3 million on music and merch—15x the amount of a normal Friday— helping artists cover rents, mortgages, groceries, medications, and so much more. It was truly inspiring.
But the pandemic and its impact on the music community aren’t over, so on May 1, June 5, and July 3 (the first Friday of each month), we’re waiving our revenue share for all sales on Bandcamp, from midnight to midnight PDT on each day.
