It's Bandcamp Friday, so you know what that means, it's a special edition of What's Good. Lots of great joints out today to cop including:
New Albums

- The Armed
- Blueprint

And whole lot more for the first of four more Bandcamp Fridays remaining in the year, but before we get into all that, I wanna encourage you to keep the pressure on banks and payment processors from last week's What's Good regarding Itch.io and Steam de-listing games with adult and queer content. Per this thread from Ana Valens after an update from Itch, you may want to add your bank to the list of calls in order to lodge a complaint against Stripe.
Now, onto the music, with this week's Bonus Beats devoted to some Bandcamp Friday deals and special releases.
