Linked earlier on this thread, but they've opened up their entire back catalogue from 1990 onwards to "name your price." (Also, this thread is actually a pretty high-up hit when you search for their bandcamp page!)

Also heavy psych jams. Lots of effects pedals. I remember someone on Outloud (RIP) being really into these guys.

Yeah so do I (re: EI)--it wasn't you?

err, ES, I mean.

Maybe it was Mordy?

That makes sense. I was thinking maybe Hurting but I think you're right.

I know I've talked up this guy on here before, but I feel the need to proselytize his latest composition, the soundtrack for Double Dragon Neon – super awesome 80s action movie/video game synth/party guitar soundtrack radness!

http://virt.bandcamp.com/album/double-dragon-neon

i've talked to a number of people lately who have haven't heard of bandcamp, and it always surprises me...i think of it as being ubiquitous now, but it seems like there's a real divide between music nerds (who will google "[band name] bandcamp" as a matter of course) and normal folks who have never encountered it.

Well when you say 'music, online, purchase directly' most people will think "Oh iTunes." Maybe Amazon.

i think of Bandcamp kind of like the non-rap equivalent of Dat Piff, if you listen to certain stuff that's not going to be on iTunes, you familiarize yourself with site(s) like that, if not you're good w/ iTunes.

Darren Hayman's field recordings of outdoor swimming pools: http://darrenhayman.bandcamp.com/album/field-recordings-for-lido

^that made for some excellent decompression after a day working on music stuff.

i released a free single last week: http://chants.bandcamp.com/album/kid-colossus-hourglass

heavy synth vibes on the A side, 8 bit arpeggios + bata samples + shifting beat feels on the B side.

I'm enjoying Monobrow's latest slice of instrumental doom:

http://monobrowmanband.bandcamp.com/album/bennington-triangle-blues

It's not going to change the world, but sometimes you just need big down-tuned riffs without anybody growling or caterwauling over them.

*points seven posts up* :P

It was above my bookmark. Ces't la vie.

ace slacker/garage rock from perth via melbourne

Here's two from me. Enjoy!

Minimal dark electro
http://4-4-2music.bandcamp.com/album/the-master-drummer

Female-fronted electro metal
http://cherry2000.bandcamp.com/

Oh yeah, also:

Ambient/dub inflected weird stuff from the early 90's - fans of Demdike Stare may like.
http://4-4-2music.bandcamp.com/album/bliss

All 3 links are pay nothing / pay what you want.

on a label but great, w/e:

http://redvenicerecords.bandcamp.com/album/wakegaze

(Most of) this great punk/hardcore/metal label has gone "name your price" for the time being. I recommend everything by Ghoul, Vitamin X, ANS, and Voetsek.
http://downloads.tankcrimes.com/

http://owlbrotherhood.bandcamp.com/album/owl-demo-tape
Psychedelic doom demos! Sound quality is pretty rough, but the potential is there.

Mates of mine:
http://greyhairs.bandcamp.com/
(supergroup of a bunch of different bands going back to old-school rock fun)

(Also the picture for the track 'Ship' features me, hahaha.)

that Red Venice label is local to me, I'd not thought abt it for years until he emailed me the other day, seems he's been busy issuing cassettes of noise with gross songtitles

this is also on a label but not out yet, it's Irish and rules hard, best hardcore-at-the-pace-of-early-Swans horridness I've heard in a while: http://artforblind.bandcamp.com/album/w-lfbait

Half Dissolved single: http://randomchild.bandcamp.com/

It's on the punkier side of metal

I-F's Viewlexx label is on here and thru it you can get most of the great releases from Legowelt's defunct StrangeLife Records. http://shop.intergalactic.fm/
