Bandcamp has launched its previously reported new label-focussed tools, with the likes of Sub Pop, Ninja Tune, Fat Wreck Chords, Relapse, Innovative Leisure and RVNG already on board.

Many labels already use Bandcamp, of course, though these new tools aim to streamline things for record companies that choose to do so, and make it all a whole lot easier to manage.

Amongst other things, it provides improved accounting and allows artists who have previously self-released through Bandcamp to include their label-released tracks on their own profile, but all plugged into to their label’s store. Oh and there are stats. Because everyone loves stats.

“Bandcamp for labels is a goddamn dream come true! We can now seamlessly and uber-efficiently manage our entire roster of 80+ bands from one dashboard, plus analyse an unprecedented level of statistics, bulk upload releases, you name it. Truly an essential tool for the music industry in the 21st century”, says Relapse Records’ Bob Lugowe. And I believe him.

This’ll all cost you $20 a month for up to fifteen artists, or $50 a month if you have more. All the info is here.
