Feedbands review
A monthly vinyl subscription where listeners vote for next month's pressing, turning record selection into a crowd-sourced game.
If you don't enjoy the record, you only have yourself to blame.
Our reviewerVinyl Selection, Crowd-Sourced
We've been on a vinyl subscription kick lately, and most services leave the music choice entirely out of the customer's hands. Feedbands flips that: it sends a full-length vinyl LP from a new artist each month, chosen by customer vote.
The mechanic is what makes it fun. Every month, Feedbands features a roster of independent bands on its site, and customers listen and vote for their favorite. Whichever artist wins gets pressed to vinyl and shipped out the following month — a more democratic approach than Vinyl Me Please's curator-picked model or VNYL's playlist-based matching.
It's a clever concept, and it comes with an honest tradeoff: since the record you receive is the one the community voted for, you only have yourself to blame if you don't love it. For $20 a month — and a free first month through our link — that's a low-stakes way to discover new independent artists.
Why We Love It
- Fan-voted selection process is genuinely fun and interactive
- Full-length vinyl LPs from new, independent artists
- First month free
- $20/month is reasonable for a monthly vinyl subscription
Considerations
- Music selection is crowd-voted rather than expertly curated, so quality can vary with the community's taste
How the Voting Works
Every month, Feedbands features a lineup of independent bands on its website and asks customers to listen and vote for their favorite. Whichever artist receives the most votes gets pressed into a custom vinyl record and shipped out the following month.
A Different Model Than Its Competitors
Vinyl Me Please picks what its curators consider the best new artist, and VNYL matches records to your Spotify or Pandora playlists — Feedbands instead lets its own community decide.
