💿 Free Album Codes Promotion Thread 💿

If you recieve any similar kind of message, then it's a SCAM! Always check the links in your message - obvious that "Bandcarnp" is not a real and valid Bandcamp link.

LFAMTQ is a split record between two northeast US rock groups that draw on less common influences, pushing boundaries between fusion and rock as well as the conventions of those genres. Michael Talento Quartet (MTQ) releases fusion that has an alternative rock influence, while LFA releases post, math, and emo rock with a jazz influence. 

In the artists' words:

As soon as someone hears a saxophone, they tend to put the music in the jazz bucket, but I wanted the music to challenge that.

The [LFA] tracks themselves were all written with the medium and it’s technical limitations in mind. Compositionally, it was an exercise in being concise... there’s many phrases that end a little earlier than you might expect, which makes a really distinct and unique feel and sound.

You can read a full interview with the artists here on our Substack

I uploaded my first album to bandcamp on june 25 2009.

And back then, I didn't even think I'd reach 1000 plays.

Thanks to all my followers and long live indie music on bandcamp !

So.. it's July of 2026 and I can still use PayPal as the only payment method for my releases. I thought the switch to Stripe was mandatory.
Or is it maybe because I hardly sell anything and so I'm staying under the tax radar?

On mobile (for only this release) i can only see the wishlist button but not the purchase one.

Hey there,

So, my friend was nice enough to send me an album of the Undertale soundtrack, and while he was typing my e-mail he forgot a character and now the e-mail went to one that doesn’t even exist. The problem is that it was a gift from him, and that he sent me it without a Bandcamp account. Is there anything we can do here to hopefully send it to the right address, or get their money back?

Hey, I ordered Vinyl using Bandcamp website and unfortunately received wrong album one. Now I am unable to return it and get correct one. Main problem is that I got no answer from BC and i used suport form 3 times.

When I contacted Metal Blade EU directly they said I need to contact Bandcamp.

That is crazy I am unable to get help from any side.

Can someone help me with that situation?

Ukrainian alternative Rock heroes of 90s Nebesna Kopalyna is coming back to 2026 with a remastered album. No electronics, g/d/b/violin. Almost Brit.Pop.

Hopefully this type of post is allowed.

Attached is the subject line.

The sender was from [email protected] (so already a red flag).

Lots of other red flags in the email. My email didn't actually mark as spam, I did that on investigating the sender and the links.

Email was asking me to verify my account and would have directed me to some sort of fake login page I assume.

Most people here I'm sure are savvy enough to spot a phishing email, but you never know - they might catch you on a bad day.

Hey!

Greg Hill back again! You guys enjoyed the last song I posted here, so I figured I'd share another from the same project :) This one is called "We Have The Beetles At Home." Hope you dig! It's FREE (or pwyw) on BC :)

Thanks a ton y'all, seriously!

-Greg

hello, good evening! i downloaded bandcamp like an hour ago and already confirmed the e-mail but still the app won't asking for confirmation and I can't like songs or anything, any way to solve it?

Could we make the Merch section collapsible? Right now I have to scroll through a couple pages of records just to get to the Tracks section. Having Merch collapsed by default would make the page much easier to navigate.

hi, friends!

i'm a new age composer, so if i want to promote my music, i need that flair.

for other new age composers, would you like this flair to be added?

I'm curious if anyone has had much success in building fans with free codes?

I have around 40 followers, most of them came from giving away free codes but everything I've released since then it seems like they don't even bother to listen to anything. I don't even really care for sales, it would just be nice if a couple of them bothered to listen to more of my music.

I’ve now made $8 this year so far :D

But in all seriousness though, I feel like I put in a hell of a lot more effort and myself into this new album of mine, and the fact that someone would pay for it when all my releases are pay-what-you-want makes this start of the morning the best one I’ve had in a while <3

When was the last time someone bought your music? And how much?

Hi!

I'm getting into more smaller bands, and wanting merch. Most smaller bands have merch on Bandcamp only.

I've considered going to shows, but I can't frankly afford the money or time.

So twice now, I've ordered an item on Bandcamp from a smaller band, and never received it. Bandcamp tells me to contact the artist, who never responds. And I cancel the purchase after ~2-3 months in my credit card.

Bandcamp takes 2-4 weeks to respond and avoids all accountability. It's infuriating.

I want to support bands, but I also want merch! It's there anything I can do?

Edit: So the second band tshirt actually showed up after 6-8 weeks. The first one definitely never arrived. So I guess it was just bad luck, like you all were saying, which makes me happy! Thank you all.

I've tried with two different browser, I'm pretty sure there was a "load purchases" option where you could see how much you spent from X or X year. I kinda need it to simplify my tax report and simply can't find it. Was it removed?

Hey all,
Had this through just now & oh wow they are trying with this one. Just making people aware!

Look at the link provided

Attention fellow Bandcampers,

Later this year, I’m putting out my first full-length album. To celebrate, I’ve gone back into the vaults and made my first three EPs completely free to download on Bandcamp.

You can grab the downloads directly here:

Hope y’all enjoy the tracks, and thank you for supporting independent music!

I've censored the URL so no one gets any brave ideas and decides to investigate the link -- has anyone else recieved something like this email? I've gotten six identical copies of it in the last thirty minutes.
