Bandcamp
Artist-direct music marketplace
Bandcamp is an online platform where musicians sell music directly to fans, typically offering digital downloads and physical media like vinyl and CDs.
Artists set their own prices, and buyers often pay more than the minimum as a show of support.
The site became a hub for independent and underground music: I found them on Bandcamp before they got signed.
