Pending any further announcements, It’s the last Bandcamp Friday on the books. The site has gone out of its way to help artists and labels during these pandemic times and the appreciation has been met by audiences showing up and supporting the musicians and artists they care about. The intentions were good. The results were good. I’ve probably bought too many records… as if that is possible. Bandcamp Friday is awesome, but every day is a great day to buy music on Bandcamp!
Anyway, we’ve got another 24 hours upon us, so we at Post-Trash thought we’d offer up some suggestions. As always with these kinds of things, there are thousands and thousands (and thousands) of releases out there to discover. These are just a few of our picks.
