Bandcamp.

So i've just finished the process of getting The Medium EP on Bandcamp, which is a website which distributes an artist's music to their fans. It's nice because it's really simply set up for fans, and I don't have to do much with it after the setup process. So here's how it will work:

-Songs (individually) will be free to download.
-Whole albums will be available for free, or you can set your own price to pay for the album. There is a minimum of $1 for albums, if you choose to pay. The very important reason for this is that Paypal charges for each transaction, so if someone decided to buy an album for 50 cents, I would end up owing Paypal money because I need to give them roughly that much plus a percent as well. So, simply put, either download the album for free or pay anything over $1 for it.

It is a bit too much for me to put future albums on itunes, plus the fact that people shouldn't have to pay $10 for an EP. (To those who did with The Medium EP.... thank you. thank you.) This way, with Bandcamp, they can be free, if you want them to be. Or, if you feel like paying for it, by all means do. Pay what you think it's worth. The money will all go towards the recording of future albums and upcoming shows/tours.

So The Medium EP is there as of now, so if you don't have it and want it, go ahead. The albums that I'm releasing this fall will be on there as soon as they're released, and the same stuff will apply to them as well.

Thanks again for your support.
