Bandcamp suggestions...are they worth it?

^ What a complete spammer

Hey folks, I just joined Prog Archives today!

I have to say that I am very glad there are bandcamp reviews, merely because it led me to this website, which I had never heard of before. I am so stoked to be on this forum and to listen to tons of new music.

Svetonio listed my band's "Live at Under the Couch" album as a Bandcamp Recommendation. That means a lot to me; I write all of the music for the band. Our sound is a mix of Prog rock and Minimalism. To even be considered on this forum is a big honor; we've only been playing live for a little over a year, and we are currently recording an EP.

That's my 2 cents!

If you want to hear anything from my band the Clibber Jones Ensemble, here's our website:
www.clibberjonesensemble.com

and here's our Live album:
http://clibberjonesensemble.bandcamp.com/

I suggest checking out "I Am the Avalanche".

Side note: I did not join this forum to self-promote! I am just really excited to have discovered the site.

I just listened to it, and continuing with your other music; I like it a lot!  I haven't checked  out bandcamp suggestions that much, but using that as an indication, then yeah, definitely worth it for me. 

I'm sure I'd find lots to love, and a lot that I wouldn't like.... With any suggestions, I would hope, at least that the suggester likes the music and finds it worthwhile, and is choosy rather than just flooding the forum with them.

I think every band that writes music that is deemed to be prog should be on the site. I personally like the attention and chances that it gives bands that have never been heard before.

It makes me happy to know that I can search and find bands on here that have only 100 fans on facebook, as many of those groups are just as good as the prog rock bands that have a solid following and labels.

I'm sure it's a lot of work but it has given me the chance to make many friends, and find great music- It is an invaluable tool.

^ Well I don't know what it is Svetonio but you drive me nuts, so best I surf elsewhere around this great site and leave ya to bandcamp nirvana and yes my comment was out of line so I took it down....rave on.

just throwing me opinion into the cauldron.......i suppose if your an unsigned band these days....and lets face it its the digital age now......you got to use all the outlets you can to grab people....and i cant see the problem with bandcamp....the only problem i have personally...and sorry if this has been said already.....is that its blinking hard to find stuff specificly to my tastes.....as i'm more of a math rock ( hate that term ) and am into polyrhythm stuff and that sort of thing is impossible to find.
