Bandcamp Friday - May 2, 2025
Share
Today is Bandcamp Friday, and that means that Bandcamp waives their fee for any purchases made on the site today. As I try to do on every Bandcamp Friday, here's a list of bands / labels that we have compiled and recommend checking out! We will always add NJ-based artists to the list, so if you aren't on the list, and you're from NJ, feel free to drop your link in the comments and we will add you!
Because this list is getting longer, I like to try to specifically shout out a few each BC Friday - I already made a separate post for the new Apes of the State which is pay-what-you-want today. I'm not always a hardcore guy, but I have been digging on Kirkby Kiss lately. Friends In Real Life is the new project from Patrick Schneeweis (fka Pat The Bunny). Corporate Hearts is one of our favorites and we've been promising to finish a project for them for like a million years now and we will finally complete that project as long as they don't hate us for delaying it for so long. And - of course - our buddy Brook Pridemore is on there and will be playing at Asbury Park Brewery next week with Little Hag (who I just realized was not previously on the list, but is now, because they are amazing!).
