More and more local bands are embracing the power of Bandcamp. This is, obviously, a very good thing. Here’s a few I’ve stumbled across recently:
- You Are A Hologram – The Invisible Hand – while not really a band that plays around town very often, You Are a Hologram makes some laid back, low key, electronic based tunes.
- Shaky Voices – Phil Collins Head – a digital “single” if you will; focusing on a track about the phenomena of floating heads on Phil Collin’s album covers. The style and subject matter sort of remind me of the onslaught of silly songs from the mid-90s. It’s nice to know people are still writing what they know…
- Armed Forces – Various Singles – these guys have a ton of singles up on their Bandcamp, all costing a $1 a piece… or just stream them for free. Despite what you think of their offerings there is no denying the top notch graphic design for every single cover. Really quite impressive.

Listening to The Invisible Hand right now and it sounds really good. Over the Line is my fav so far I think.
