The Bad Penny (beta)

Strapped for cash but hungry for great music? You won’t have much luck camping out at the grocery store these days; Bandcamp is a way better destination. Here’s a rundown of 10 rad releases, about half of them newly released, that The Bad Penny recently came across on Bandcamp.

(Note: If you do have some green to spare, please show your thanks to these deserving artists and labels.)

1. Dead and Dripping’s Nefarious Scintillations (Transcending Obscurity)

The physical editions of this release by New Jersey’s brutal death metal band Dead and Dripping aren’t out till tomorrow, but the always-generous Transcending Obscurity Records granted us the digital version early – and for free. Fans of Suffocation and Wormed will eat up this latest journey into the grotesque courtesy of Evan Daniele, who is responsible for every lick of music and even the artwork that comes with Nefarious Scintillations.
