Here are 10 Irish releases you should buy on Bandcamp today
Bandcamp is once again waiving their fees on all sales today and are urging you to support the artists that in recent weeks have been supporting causes like BLM, MASI and more in recent weeks.
That initiatives have generated on those days $4.3 million, $7.1 million and $4.8 million respectively for these causes.
It’s a really hard time for artists too though with no gigs possible, so today would be a good day to give money direct to the artists you love. Some are also donating to charities related to the above causes too so check individual details. The 10 below are ones I’ve picked out that have new releases.
See our previous Bandcamp lists here and here.

MuRli – Till The Wheels Come Off
The only way to get a copy of Limerick Mc MuRli’s new EP is to buy it on CD or cassette on Bandcamp. Limited to 150 copies, the 7-track release won’t be released on streaming services so get on it.

10.
Elaine Mai – ‘Somewhere Else’
This song is about that feeling of not belonging and everything that comes with that. I think most of us have felt that way at some point, especially growing up. For me, this song captures that sadness and uncertainty, but there’s also a feeling of hope in it, a feeling that things are going to get better.
All proceeds from the sale of Elaine Mai’s music will be going to Origins Eile – a grassroots community organisation supporting, celebrating, and uplifting QTIBPOC in Ireland.
