Bandcamp@bandcamp.com · 10mo agoFrom breakout titles to beloved indies, these are the most crucial video game soundtracks released on Bandcamp in 2025.
I went clay shooting on the weekend! I think all the hours I've spent playing first person shooters has finally paid off!!!

People say you should get a hobby outside of composing music. Does collecting ridiculous outfits to run away from your nightmare count in #deadbydaylight?

Deleted my account as well. I believe if Soundcloud wants to use our music to train AI they should offer compensation. They also really should have provided an opt out option. They did neither so it was an easy choice.....another account gone.
