Pet Door Show’s Favorite Bandcamp Releases by Trans and Non-Binary Artists!
Friends, the stars have aligned in a perfect conjunction. Firstly, yesterday Thursday March 31st 2022 was International Trans Day of Visibility, dedicated to celebrating transgender and non-binary people around the world! Secondly, today Friday April 1st is Bandcamp Friday, when artists receive 100% of the cash that you spend on their releases on Bandcamp!
As the cherry on the cosmic cake, because yesterday was Thursday I got to host a super special episode of the Pet Door Show on Shady Pines Radio (Thursdays 2–4pm PDT / 5–7pm EDT / 10pm-12am BST), with every single track by independent & underplayed trans and non-binary artists and their bands. We are fortunate to live in a world with tons and tons of awesome, creative, innovative, and fantastic trans and non-binary artists, so I’ve had a chance to share a bunch of great releases on the show.
In fact, I’d like to share them with you! So, below is a list (arranged alphabetically by full name) of fantastic releases of the past year that I’ve played on the Pet Door Show and are available to purchase on Bandcamp. I’m also including a Spotify playlist, but I strongly encourage you to purchase any music that you particularly enjoy on Bandcamp today to make sure all of your cash goes directly to the artist, using the purchase links provided.
Enjoy! Go buy some music! And tune in to the Pet Door Show on Shady Pines Radio every Thursday 2–4pm PDT / 5–7pm EDT / 10pm-12am BST!
