Bandcamp Alternative Subvert: New Era for Indie Artists and Labels?
Subvert, a new platform designed as an alternative to Bandcamp, is on the verge of launching with the intent of being owned and controlled by independent artists and their communities. The platform emerges in response to Bandcamp's transition to corporate ownership under Epic Games and later Songtradr, leading to concerns about the eroding independence for artists. Subvert aims to address systemic challenges in the music industry, offering a model where 100% of ownership is reserved for artists and community members. Its founder, Austin Robey, has a history in music crowdfunding following the decline of PledgeMusic, and emphasizes a need for larger vision in addressing current industry issues.
