Why Make Your Year-End List from Bandcamp

A year-end list is a record of what you actually listened to: the debut you found by accident, the label you followed all year, the record a friend pressed on you. On Bandcamp those releases are spread across separate artist pages. A list pulls them together and says why they mattered to you.

Every release on your list stays on Bandcamp, so anyone who likes what they hear can go straight to the artist and buy it there.

Every track lives on Bandcamp. Indie Crates organizes and describes music so people can find it — the listening, and every purchase, happens on Bandcamp, where the money reaches the artist. We never host audio and we never sell it.

How to Build It on Indie Crates

  1. Start the crate

    Use the button above. It opens a new crate already titled Best of 2026, so you can skip straight to the music.

  2. Paste the Bandcamp links

    Add the Bandcamp track and album links of the releases you loved this year. The artwork and the details come with them.

  3. Say why each one made the list

    Put them in your order and write a line or two about each pick. That context is what turns a list of links into your list.

  4. Publish

    Publish the crate when it reads the way you want. You can keep adding to it until the year is out.

Share or Embed Your List

A published crate has its own page, with one link you can post wherever you share music: social media, a group chat, a newsletter. If you write a blog or run a site, the crate's embed code puts the list on your own page, and every release still leads back to Bandcamp.
