Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indy Mix tape.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Indycast.

On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.

We review albums, we hash out trends.

And in this episode,

we're going to be giving shopping recommendations for Band Camp Friday. My name is Stephen Hayden,

and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? Yeah, shout out Band Camp Friday.

I like it a lot more than Sol Seek Thursday and Scour Wednesday. So, you know,

helping out bands a little bit besides the usual, oh, if I'm listening to their music, it doesn't matter how I get it. I mean, I've used that one for a while, but I think Band Camp Friday has just

been one of the few, you know, upsides of the total collapse of the music industry

as we know it.

Yeah.

And for those who maybe don't know what we're talking about, Band Camp Friday, of course,

Band Camp is a site where bands can post their records.

And if you buy your music from that site, you're pretty much guaranteeing that

the artist is going to get more money than they would if you were to stream on Spotify or any

other streaming platform. And the great thing about Band Camp Friday is that on this day,

if you buy music, the band gets all the money. So this is really the best day to buy music.

Now, if you happen to hear this episode after Friday, you should still go to band camp

because even if it's not band camp Friday, it is still the best way to make sure that the

artists that we love are getting compensated for their efforts.

Not to guilt you, but like if you wait a day to buy anything you hear on here, you're just basically taking food out of their mouths.
