Bandcamp

Bandcamp was launched in 2008, and has since gained popularity among independent musicians,

Bandcamp is an online music store that allows independent artists to sell, or freely distribute, their work directly to their fans. The basic service of Bandcamp is free, and the site takes a revenue share from artist sales. The site offers a convenient means for artists to sell their music quickly and free of record label intervention. As of 2012 there are 646,978 albums uploaded to Bandcamp.[1]
