There's a new co-operative streaming network Subvert out today. Looks promising. I hadn't seen any discussion here so thought I'd share. It's refreshing to be able to browse through releases and find artists directly without the usual algorithmic BS of Spotify et al, can make some interesting random discoveries of musicians that don't have some slick PR machine behind them.This one seems a lot more polished than previous alternative streaming networks, it already has a fairly good takeup of musicians on there.Easy to upload your catalogue on there too if any musicians here want to give it a try.

yep, signed up as an artist, waiting on approval. strangely bandcamp appears to be down at the moment.

The only problem is that uploading music there is a bit more difficult than it is on Bandcamp.

how so? I'm curious. do you mean the actual uploading process, or the signing up for an account process?

The uploading--it's a multi-page process.
