While our numbers aren’t huge, we overall saw MORE income from Bandcamp (obvs), overall more streams over the same time span than on steaming platforms (both Spotify & Apple) and overall more interaction and unique listens

Did a unique experiment for our audience with our last single release: released a double single exclusively on Bandcamp for 3 weeks before a wider release on streaming. Bandcamp purchasers get an exclusive song available only on the platform until the wider full album release

I’ve realized seeing everyone’s posts for Bandcamp Friday today. It’s a movement. We make a statement by supporting artists on better platforms.
