It’s worth noting that a lot of these releases are available on a pay what you want basis, meaning that if you like a particular record you’re able to make a donation of your choice. I can’t stress highly enough how important it is to support these artists in any way you can. Buy their music or go see them live or buy a t-shirt or whatever, it really is the least we (as music fans) can do.
