The Future Of What - Episode #18: The Merits of Bandcamp
2Some music services are more "artist friendly" than others, and some might say that Bandcamp is the ultimate in that regard. Unlike other services that charge artists a per year fee for their services, regardless of units sold, Bandcamp is totally free until you sell a song or album, and then their take is only half of what other services charge artists for distribution. In this episode, we speak with Andrew Jervis and Jennifer Elias of Bandcamp about the company's history and future, and their different roles within the company. We then toggle over to Christopher Kirkley (Sahel Sounds) and Greta Kline (Frankie Cosmos), to get their impressions as long-time Bandcamp users, as label and artist, respectively. We end our episode with a snippet from our Bandcamp subscriber exclusive segment called, "How Did You Get Into Music," where we talk to singer-songwriter, Laura Veirs, about her past, present and future!
The Future of What is a radio show hosted by Kill Rock Stars president, Portia Sabin, that explores current trends within the music industry through the eyes and ears of the working professionals who shape and mold it.
