Bandcamp Friday Roundup; November 2023
There might be some big changes over at Bandcamp but they’re still honoring their artists with Bandcamp Friday! For anyone unaware, Bandcamp Friday is when the online record store and music community, Bandcamp, dedicates the earnings made on that day to waiving their fees. This results in more money going directly to the artists who deserve it. Stop by and spread a little local love and support if you enjoy it.
If you’re a local musician and have new music coming out, send it to us to be included here!

Bad Smidgend
Bad Smidgend is a fast and furious 3 piece punk band from Wilmington Delaware. If you missed their electric performance at Hot Jam X then stream their latest 8-song album I Wish I Was My Cat was released on October 6 for a smidgen of the excitement.
Danny Whitecotton
Danny Whitecotton is a native Texas singer/songwriter currently based out of Wilmington, Delaware that writes and plays songs about love, loss, and possibility with a blend of folk, country, rock, and blues. He released a 5-song EP You and I on September 22 full of sentimental ballads and personal anecdotes.
Unreasonable Things
For fans of all things emo and grunge, Ocean View-based rock band Unreasonable Things has just the EP to satiate you. Recorded by Dustin Showers at Vagabond Studios in Roxana, DE and released on September 19, this self-titled EP has 4 songs to get you hooked on sad and crying in the mosh pit.
Digitalacid
Brooklyn-based but Delaware-rooted Digtialacid Records has another heavenly EP out for all the hip-hop heads. The Gateway Tapes Vol. 2 is a three-song EP saturated with bold samples, smart intricate lyrics from Andromeda and friends, and little to no hooks or choruses. Just spittin’! There is a custom one-of-a-kind hand painted satchel for sale through the site. A must have for collectors.
Mariano Mallia
Wilmington-based singer-songwriter Mariano Mallia has a beautiful hopeful ballad that you need to hear right now. Last For Life is a feel good track seeped in pop goodness encouraging listeners to connect with the beautiful souls around them in a chorus that’s big and catchy. Released September 29, and co-written with Shaun Thomson and Chris Dodson, Mariano has a beautiful collaboration to inspire all who hear.
Herbert Quick
Seattle-based, Delaware-born Herbert Quick is a multi-instrumentalist and all around gentle human. Their latest releases Like an Attic in the Summer and The Room are a reflection of just that, with layered acoustic sounds and dreamy far away vocals.
