Bandcamp Friday Roundup August 2025
(Clockwise: Blush, Russell Que, Raedianz, Lily Enos, Monika Bullette, Andrew Joseph Connell)
In this edition of our Bandcamp Friday Roundup, we’re thrilled to spotlight a vibrant mix of local and regional talent, showcasing the depth and diversity of the music coming from our corner of the world.
For anyone unaware, Bandcamp Friday is when the online record store and music community, Bandcamp, dedicates the earnings made on that day to waiving their fees. This results in more money going directly to the artists who deserve it. Stop by and spread a little local love and support if you enjoy it.
