Bandcamp Friday Round Up; April 2024
(Clockwise: Bad Eyesight, Skyler Cumbia, Weesho, The Honey Badgers, Shane Palko, Steezanne)
The weather is warming up and with spring comes new music releases, popping up all over the scene like fresh daisies. We gathered up some fresh new tunes for you to check out on this month's Bandcamp Friday Roundup. For anyone unaware, Bandcamp Friday is when the online record store and music community, Bandcamp, waives their fees for musicians and artists and gives them 100% of the sales. 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.
