Musicians mark Bandcamp Friday with playful posts
Original: 🪼 (a Bandcamp Friday post, but with a jellyfish) https:// romeorucha.bandcamp.com/album/ boom # BandcampFriday # bandcam
Musician Romeo Rucho promoted his album for Bandcamp Friday, the monthly event when the platform waives its fees so artists keep more of their sales, using a jellyfish emoji in place of the usual announcement. The post tags genres including electronic, plunderphonics, synth-pop and spoken word. Independent artists use the day to urge fans to buy music directly rather than on streaming services.
Why now: Bandcamp Friday recurs monthly, prompting artists to promote their releases and fans to discuss supporting musicians directly.
