Bandcamp is a wonderful place. It’s basically the etsy of the music scene and I’ve spent countless hours just searching through various tags finding new, up and coming bands. As such, I will be compiling a list every week of my latest “Bandcamp Adventures”. This week’s list will be focused on music with the “Emotional Hardcore” tag. Enjoy!
*These aren’t in an order of best to worst, just the order that I found and listened to them*
