I am sure there are more than just the two examples I am going to mention in this opening post, so please do add any bands and artists you know who are giving all proceeds from their Bandcamp sales to aid Ukraine. And remember that if you purchase any of these albums this Friday (4 March) it is Bandcamp Friday, which means even more of your money will find it’s way to help Ukraine.

The Vicious Head Society

One of my favourite albums of 2017 (I think I may have given it the #1 spot in my AOTY list for that year), and one of my favourite albums of last year (I never made an AOTY list for 2021, but this would have been a contender for the top spot, for sure) are now reduced in price, with all proceeds going to help Ukraine. If you don’t have either (or both) of these magnificent albums, then do yourself a favour and follow the link.

Nova Cascade

Another band with some phenomenal releases, discounting their albums, and ensuring all proceeds go to aid Ukraine. As with The Vicious Head Society, one of my favourite albums from 2017 was by Nova Cascade. Each of their following albums are just as good. Nova Cascade’s music comes from the opposite end of the spectrum from The Vicious Head Society, being atmospheric and ambient, rather than hard and heavy.

I have posted a list of Ukrainian bands and artists I like elsewhere, and was using this to find band/artists from anywhere in the world who are giving all proceeds from their Bandcamp sales to aid Ukraine, but in the spirit of your post, here are my favourites:

Remember that if you purchase any of their albums this Friday (4 March) it is Bandcamp Friday, which means even more of your money will find it’s way to help Ukraine.

So if you wanted a copy and never got around to getting it, now is the time.

I have the first Obimy Doschu. It's a bit unnecessarily metallish but I'll try to play it later today anyway.

Since one hour ago, the iamthemorning Bandcamp has been back in action.

I'm doing the same with my solo artist store since a few hours ago and already have 200 GBP to send. Thank you <3

Remember, any purchase made from Bandcamp this Friday (4 March) will see more of your money go to aid Ukraine, as it is Bandcamp Friday for March.

In just two days, from Bandcamp sales for albums by The Vicious Head Society, almost €50 has been raised to aid Ukraine. Once Bandcamp and PayPal have taken their cut, all proceeds are going to aid Ukraine. This Friday (4 March) as part of the Bandcamp Friday programme, Bandcamp will be waiving their fee, so only PayPal takes a cut.

Hi,

I lived through the Vietnam era and everything since ... but what I am seeing in the Ukraine, is distasteful and sad, and pathetic, and the hard part is? How do you recover it all in 10 to 20 years, and still not show the scars and the vicious ugliness. You don't!

I keep thinking about 21st Century Schizoid Man ... going about his maniacal this and that ... we all thought it was about Idi Amin, but 50 years later, it's about someone else! 

And on this day, I will play "Epitath" loud and clear ... and pray for the best!

In order to help them and their families survive, Season of Mist will now donate 100% of the profits for all items related to these bands and will not be taking any fees. 

To support them, check out the available items here.

I know only Somali Yacht Club from these bands, but figured I would share this anyway.

As small a gesture as it is, I will be donating 50% off all Bandcamp profits this week to the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to help fund their life saving work in the Ukraine.

I hope for those receiving their CDs it brings a small ray of light in these dark times and time to sit, listen and contemplate what we can all do in our small corner of the world to help those in need.

Astarta/Edwin

💙💛🇺🇦💙💛

Inna Kovtun, Yulia Malyarenko: Vocals 
Eduard Prystupa: Keyboards and vocals 
Colin Edwin: Basses, Rhythm Programming 
Jon Durant: Guitars 

with: 

Pat Mastelotto Drums on "Kalina" "Oy U Lisi" and "Skripka" 
Bogdan Kerichok - Drums on "Rekruskaya" and "Orel" 
Steve Bingham - Violin on "Kupala" "Skripka" and "Cascade"

The two collaborative albums of Ukrainian “Collision Music” from Astarta/Edwin (the original album and the remix album “Outages”) have just been moved to a new Bandcamp page set up specifically to raise funds for the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Name Your Price

💙💛🇺🇦💙💛

As well as raising funds, Astarta/Edwin think it important that Ukrainian music, perhaps lesser known outside the country, is able to reach as many people as possible, to present an example of something positive from Ukraine, and to let the wider world know that Ukrainians posses a distinct and rich culture of their own, so therefore everything will be available on a “Name Your Price” basis, and will remain so, but please make a donation to aid the humanitarian efforts, if you are able.

The war in Ukraine is destroying the lives of many people, and the musicians who are part of these recordings have had their lives upended along with many of their compatriots.

Remember, this Friday (tomorrow, 4 March) is “Bandcamp Friday”, where Bandcamp waive their usual cut from sales, so the maximum amount of donation can be passed on.

This is more prog related, but a bunch of interesting artists (many with connections to Guapo) have put together this collection of unreleased material as a fundraiser for Ukraine. It's probably best to wait for Bandcamp Friday.

Thank you for sharing all of this nick. I took the opportunity of band camp friday to buy one of The Vicious Head Society's albums and also an album from Karfagen, so hopefully my money will have done some good with the Red Cross and for Anthony Kalugin and his family. Let there be peace on earth.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
