How it works

You name the bands. We find their own stores, read them through the day, and tell you when something new is on the table.

  1. DirectEvery link is the store’s own URL, untouched. No affiliate code, no redirect through us, no shortener. Hover and see.
  2. Official onlyA store is listed when we can show why it’s the band’s: linked from their own site (today or in its archived past), their label, or MusicBrainz. Marketplaces and print-on-demand never appear as the store. Where we can’t prove it, the page says so.
  3. Quiet, unless you sayWeekly by default. Right away, per band, when you tell us a band sells out fast. When nothing happened, we send nothing.
  4. As the store shows itPrice and availability exactly as published. No “only 3 left”, no countdowns.
  5. UntrackedNo pixels in email, no click tracking, no analytics scripts, no third-party cookies. We keep your email or number, your bands, your settings, and nothing else about you.
  6. Out in one wordReply STOP to a text, or tap one link in an email, and it’s done that second.
  7. FreeIt costs about a hoodie a month to run. Never ads, never affiliate links.
  8. Bands can say noA band, label, or shop can claim, correct, or remove their listing from one page.

What we read

Shopify stores publish a public product feed; so do Big Cartel and WooCommerce. Bandcamp merch pages are read as a fan’s browser would, twice a day, text only. Local record shops are read from their public Discogs inventory. A band that publishes a merch.json file is read from that. Nothing is taken from a store’s private surface, and the crawler identifies itself.

News, not gossip

The band’s own site, YouTube, Bluesky, new releases on MusicBrainz and Discogs, and the music press count as news. Personal-life coverage is gossip and is hidden behind a count unless you turn it on. Facebook, Instagram and X don’t let a reader in, so we link them.
