Bandcamp is having another “no fees” event on May 1st, where all earnings go direct to the artists.
To celebrate, we’ve put up four new BC-only releases.
All of these are Name Your Price downloads.
An unheard Silkworm live recording from Chicago’s Lounge Ax in 1994.
The first of two appearances in the city in as many months, this recording of the four-piece SKWM lineup has not been released in full previously.
Their set list is almost entirely built around a mix of songs off “Libertine” and “In The West.”
Crain, Mule and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion also played that evening.
Recorded by Aadam Jacobs.
Mastered / edited by Matthew Barnhart.
Take the Peninsula” by OUT.
Six reinterpretations of songs new and old by our dear friends in Kalamazoo.
All proceeds from this EP for the next week will be donated to Loaves and Fishes, a Kalamazoo-based food bank crucial to our community.
The Rutabega’s “Unreliable Sketches.”
Eight beautiful acoustic demos for songs from The Rutabega 2016 album “Unreliable Narrator.”
Proceeds from this release will be donated to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
A brand new two song Oxford Collapse digital single.
Recorded during the November 2007 sessions that eventually birthed their final album, BITS, these two songs represent a direction Oxford Collapse might’ve taken had they continued on their journey through the past a little while longer.
Their take on Neil Young’s “Dance, Dance, Dance” emphasizes the boom bap of the drums while leaving enough sawdust on the floor to flog a crazy horse, while “The Caveat,” informed by hours of listening to “By-Tor and the Snowdog” in the van, is their imagining of what Rush might sound like if they were less accomplished instrumentally and wrote very short songs.
Rescued from obscurity and mastered from the original 192 kbps MP3s, these two tracks might represent a combined-less-than-three-minutes of music, but we’re psyched to bring them to you nonetheless.
100% of the proceeds from the sale of this single will be donated to NYC Health + Hospitals COVID-19 Relief Efforts.
