Direct to fan platform Bandcamp continues its impressive evolution with the addition of a robust HD video feature to its PRO subscription plan that includesmultiple options to display videos on artist pages. The company is also testing yet be be announced [Patreon-style](https://www.hypebot.com/jack-conte-unlocks-superfan-revenue-streams-for-web-stars-with-patreon/) artist subscription options, with at least one example currently live on the site.

UK indie band [Candy Says](https://candysays.bandcamp.com/subscribe?ref=hypebot.com) is using Bandcamp’s beta feature to offer fans a £20 per year subscription (about $32 USD) that includes seven back catalog and Bandcamp-only albums along with, “all the new music we make, streaming instantly on your mobile device via the free Bandcamp app, and also available as a high-quality download.”

[![Subscribe - Candy Says](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d07dec2c970c-450wi "Subscribe - Candy Says")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b8d07dec2c970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

Encouraing fans to get involved in the yearly subscription, the band writes:

“It’s a club. A cult. A collective of like-minded failures. It’s not about buying music. It’s about supporting our effort to bring a little beauty into the world.”

In its current form, the new feature adds a “Subscription” tab to the artists Bandcamp page alongside standard “music”, “merch+tickets” and as of today “video” tabs. There’s also an option for fans to pay the band more for the subscription at their discretion.

Bandcamp has added a new video tab, and optimized the section for mobile where the videos are automatically displayed for lower-bandwidth delivery. There is also a new embedded player that lets artists and fans share videos including cover art and direct links to purchase.
