A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
GetMusic has really helped me grow as an artist. Just in 2 weeks I gained over 50 followers. This also gave an opportunity for some artists who had already been following but couldn't support me to have something of mine in their Bandcamp collection.
I stumbled upon GetMusic on Reddit a few years ago. I had an excellent conversation with the owner and was captivated by the concept of connecting my music on Bandcamp to not only expand my fan base but also connect with other artists. Over the years, I’ve amassed a vast collection of singles and albums, and some of these albums are among my all-time favorites! GetMusic stands as a platform that champions indie artists and facilitates connections that we could never have envisioned.
GetMusic gave our sound the push it needed. It’s a powerful tool for any underground artist looking to reach new fans and actually be heard. Simple, effective, and highly recommended.
We’ve used GetMusic on 3 releases now and every single time it has resulted in many more followers. They may not always translate into more sales - but you are in all those peoples collections and they are all on your messaging list for notifications about future releases etc. We regard it as an investment for the future - to build up your list of followers and raise awareness of what you do. Chuck (who interfaces with the artists) is a really nice guy and will always try to accommodate any requests you have for promotions and new merchandise releases etc. He has done loads for us and his intervention often results in increased plays on our Bandcamp page. The news of the offer of promoting free downloads at no cost is a godsend to struggling bands and is an excellent idea I our opinion - it means we can now afford to offer free downloads of “singles” to promote upcoming releases. Keep up the good work - GetMusic definitely gets The Crabs Commendation!
I used GetMusic to build the Bandcamp fanbase a bit in advance of my next album release. I made 100 codes available and shared this across X and FB groups. All codes were gone in under a week, I sold more physical copies in a day than ever before and grew the fan base. Win!
I'm super pleased. You've almost doubled my followers, and surprisingly, I got a fair number of sales, too!
May I say I am thrilled with the results with GET MUSIC! In less than 3 weeks my Bandcamp follower count has risen by 86%, I've received hundreds of additional streams I otherwise wouldn't have. Further, it appears there's been a knock-on with a spike in Spotify activity also, presumably punters who utilise both platforms. In even less time my old band THE GELS has received a 114% rise in Bandcamp followers and generated real sales. I wasn't sure what to expect when I joined GET MUSIC, but I certainly wasn't expecting this. It's a staggering result.
I honestly cannot remember how I functioned as an indie artist without GetMusic. In fact, the site does so much of the work for me, I've actually let my other promotional activities slide! For a long time I was a "Free" or "Pay What You Want" artist, but had little traction. Even though listeners getting codes through GetMusic is still technically free, there's a psychological reward when cashing tokens for music you'd normally pay for. Just by offering codes through GetMusic, my listeners have grown by 70% or more. Along with providing links to song downloads, GetMusic is constantly popping up on the socials with graphics of new releases, either solo or grouped with other new tracks. I myself am often drawn to new music thanks to these arresting graphics. GetMusic's stats are also great for reposting and reminding listeners of your newest tracks or albums. Along with Bandcamp, GetMusic is an essential tool for the indie artist.
GetMusic helps garner listens, sales and follows. It's been a huge help in a world where the social media platforms and algorithms tend to work against underground artists.
