I don't have problem with musicians, they should be supported, but this site is making money with us and leaving nothing. ¿And for what? 1,000 cover albums with no information. How are we suffering censorship? If i type in a band and then the word prog into google this site is up on the top usually. LOL, probably your avatar will be censored

I know some bands appearing only upon Bandcamp which are tremendously skilled / professional and well deserved for inclusion into PA, and on the contrary, some under formal contract to labels (including independent ones) which are amateur-ish and no-thank-you in PA (as some Admins / Collabs know, Kazuhiro and I strongly were opposed to an inclusion case which had been done without notice a while before). But hey, we PA have fantastic "Subgenre Evaluation Teams", that can make proper decisions, let me say. As a result, Teams can add artists suitable for PA "with enough info" or "with enough historical background (even if they're obscure)", and cannot add without them.

cheers Svet........will investigate :-)

just throwing me opinion into the cauldron.......i suppose if your an unsigned band these days....and lets face it its the digital age now......you got to use all the outlets you can to grab people....and i cant see the problem with bandcamp....the only problem i have personally...and sorry if this has been said already.....is that its blinking hard to find stuff specificly to my tastes.....as i'm more of a math rock ( hate that term ) and am into polyrhythm stuff and that sort of thing is impossible to find.
