Since the pandemic uprooted . . . well, everything, almost every month Bandcamp has passed along its usual share of sales to artists and labels for one full day. By mid-2020, the first Friday of the month had more or less become “Bandcamp Friday,” and it was one of the few routines that gave me something to look forward to when nothing else felt dependable—not least because musicians started playing to the occasion with special releases. As of this writing, Bandcamp hasn’t announced any Bandcamp Fridays beyond May 7, so if there’s a record on the site that you’ve had your eye on, this Friday may be the best day to pick it up.
