Bandcamp

Bandcamp is an American online music distribution platform, founded in 2008, with an office and record store in Oakland, California. It was acquired by Epic Games in March 2022 and sold to the music-licensing company Songtradr in October 2023; about half of Bandcamp staff did not receive offers to continue under the new owner.
