Well, we did it!

After 4 years of streaming on Spotify, apple music etc, we are now free from the unethical algorithms - which we found to be a bit of a waste of time. See you on bandcamp

Well, the list idea didn't really work, but there must be loads of independent artists not on spotify/apple music etc? Obvs we know of a few, but wondering if anyone wanted to list them here? Who's taken their music off?

Thoughts?

We made a list. Well, started a list, of bands/artists not on spotify/apple etc....

Back to the 'not on Spotify' thing. We have started a list of bands/artists that aren't on Spotify and similar streaming platforms. Feel free to add: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Being 'independent' doesn't mean going at it alone.

Is there a list of bands that aren't on Spotify? Thinking of starting one.

#notonspotify

I want to start a group that shares anti war music. Or any music that you feel describes the current situation. What’s the best way to do this on Twitter/X?

When you put actual earnings figures against streaming v purchase of music it is really sobering. I don't have a simple answer but £28 a year for unlimited access to an artist's entire back catalogue of tracks. That's £7 income each per band member per year from Spotify.

Streaming for us is about £28 per year; Bandcamp revenue in the last 4 years has been around £2800. In light of this and the completely unethical corporate model adopted by Spotify etc, we will be removing our music from those platforms. It just doesn't work for us.

Here we are BTW: abrasivetrees.bandcamp.com

We're taking everything off streaming to focus in bandcamp

Another variety of purchases for #bandcampfriday from some of my favourite independent artists - all of which deserve a listen #NewMusic
