What if you’re a teenager stuck in a small town somewhere in the Midwest, without a music venue in sight? Many music lovers turn to Bandcamp, the website where bands can sell their music and connect with fans all over the world. JJ Skolnik curates the new and interesting coming from artists on Bandcamp via articles like “Nine Essential Netlabels From Mexico’s Electronic Underground” and “Ten Bands Setting Iceland’s Black Metal Scene Ablaze.” JJ shared some tips on how listeners can deal with the massive number of bands out there in the online music scene, and how that scene might be shaping the future of music.
