Bandcamp read the room.

It is the hero we need in our hour of darkness.

Amidst an onslaught of horrendous slop pretending to be music (Spotify is rife with this garbage), #Bandcamp has come out with a new policy statement which is succinct, unequivocal, and rings like a clarion bell.

The TL;DR: **Slop is Banned.**

“Not permitted.” “Strictly prohibited.”

Truly, music to my ears! 🎶
