Analysis of Bandcamp

Bandcamp is an American online music company founded in 2007 by former co-founder Ethan Diamond and programmers Shawn Grunberger, Joe Holt and Neal Tucker, headquartered in Sea Ranch, California . Fully launched in 2008, the company provides music distribution and merchandising in the form of a micro site for artists, mainly catering to independent artists , but it also works with record labels . This site allows more underground artists to sell their records and get their songs across to fans. It is good and they offer to match a price you are willing to pay if it is within reason. This is the main page for band camp, here you can see many different artists and bands. Here is lower on the page which shows more artists and categories to find specific albums, or you could just use the search bar.
