According to reports, the music platform also banned Five Times August’s singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas. The ban was reportedly political according to Five Times August’s Wednesday account.
“Having a really hard time figuring out why [Band Camp] would target and delete Five Times August’s and [Timcast]‘s pages and why their support manager wouldn’t be getting back to us…,” This account was posted sarcastically along with a screenshot showing a LinkedIn Profile. Support manager for the platform “they/them” As well as pictures, pronouns are also available.
It is really difficult to understand why. @Bandcamp Would target Five Times August and would delete them @Timcast‘s pages and why their support manager wouldn’t be getting back to us… pic.twitter.com/F8Bn4lcW1W

Bandcamp was not available for comment when The Daily Wire reached them.
Pool responded on Thursday to the Five Times August ban by writing “maybe we should crowd fund a class action between all our fans who can no longer access the music they paid for.”
Maybe we need to crowdfund a class action among all the fans who cannot access the music they purchased? https://t.co/x9C7p0Z1eC

“This is the part that pisses me off,” Five Times August was contacted. “If [Bandcamp] wants to delete artist pages and music on a whim because they’re butt hurt little wimps that’s fine, but to remove access from anyone who already purchased the music is theft.”
This is what irritates me the most. You can find it here. @bandcamp You want to remove artist pages and music from your site on a whim. However, removing access for anyone who purchased it is theft. https://t.co/WtTjzVXCnv

Five Times August may have also caught February’s ban without any explanation. “I had been on the site about ten years,” The Post Millennial was informed by the band. “My entire catalogue of music and my artist page scrubbed. I re-registered to claim my artist page again but have only put back one album for now. I wrote them about it, haven’t heard anything and from what I understand no other artists who this happened to have ever heard back either.”
“No idea what happened but after ten years on Bandcamp they removed my entire catalogue of music and signed me out as if I never existed. I just signed up again to reclaim my page. Silent War is available for now as a test but if they remove it again we’ll know why,” The band wrote back in February, adding, “I just re-registered. Had to start my account all over and reclaim my page again. Really strange.”
They took my entire music collection off Bandcamp after 10 years. I have no idea how it happened. Just signed up to get my page back. Silent War is currently available as a testing site, but they can remove it at any time. https://t.co/GPbI3aaGvJ… https://t.co/wHZyUgiwy6 pic.twitter.com/RVSW0OmJdi
