Me too. But it feels gone.

I have done my best to recreate this kind of community in a private group on Facebook. We have monthly "battles" - -but they're not competitive, just each month we have a "Release day" where we listen to each other's song for that month and provide feedback.

Over the last year we've released nine compilations of our stuff on bandCamp (not to be confused with bandAmp ) and I'd feel honored if some of the old faces from bandamp joined too.

The group is here -- just put "bandamp" in the question about where you heard of the group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/243569247441277

And if you're interested, we've released stuff here:

Bandamp is in a resting state, I'm sure all the members that have posted on here before are still with us, we've all got older and probably like me not had time to create any new material. But, I'll be retiring in about 3 and a half years time and will no doubt be creating music again.

We need some young blood injected to Bandamp and the only way that's going to happen is if someone with enough passion promotes it and indeed updates the site.

Long live Bandamp!

I hope you're right! This website will always have a place in my heart.
