Hi hello, Happy Sunday - we have a birthday today, and that special someone has a wishlist with 26 items.
Consider buying an album for someone you don’t know today!
If you’re broke, scroll through their wishlist anyway and find something nice for yourself.
Once you’re done there, stop by the Metal Bandcamp Gift Club Discord and say hi to the sort of people who buy albums for strangers on their birthday.
ALSO: Metal Bandcamp Gift Club stands with Bandcamp United:
From Bandcamp United:
The music and tech industries are at a juncture, and it’s time that we as workers have a seat at the table to weigh in on the challenges and opportunities of this moment. That’s why we have come together to form Bandcamp United, a union comprising US-based workers across all departments at Bandcamp. We are affiliated with the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) Local 1010.
Forming our union is critical to our ability to do our best work and make good on the promise and mission of Bandcamp. With our union, we will have a voice in our working conditions and the power to hold Bandcamp accountable to the independent artists and labels who use it—most of whom are workers just like us, and for whom Bandcamp provides vital income to help sustain their creative projects.
Bandcamp United is powered by us: designers, journalists, support staff, engineers, and more, all dedicated to the mission of Bandcamp. Many of us are ourselves independent artists, label owners, and promoters, and all of us are fans who are involved in our own music communities. We all chose to join this company as an extension of our own love for independent music, and believe that a site such as Bandcamp that aims to offer an ethical and fair alternative to the streaming economy should reflect its mission internally.
Do what you can to show your support.
