## What is FIRSTPRESS AUDIO?

Every artist on FIRSTPRESS has their music, their merch, their shows and their fanclub in one place. You buy from them, not from a shop standing in the middle.

What you buy is yours to keep.

WHAT YOU BUY, YOU OWN
Buy a record and it stays bought. It downloads to the phone and stays there, so it plays on a plane, on the subway, in a basement venue with no bars. No subscription, so nothing lapses and there is nothing to cancel. Walk away for a year and come back, and your library is exactly where you left it.

ONE RECORD AT A TIME
Discover hands you a single record and thirty seconds of it. Sit with it or move on. There is no feed here to get to the bottom of.

THE ARTIST'S WHOLE SHOP
Their music, their merch, their shows and a fanclub they actually post in. Buy a shirt or a ticket from the same page as the record. Tickets land in a wallet in the app.

HEAR IT FROM THEM
Follow an artist and you hear about the new record from them, not from a chart. One notification when they put something out, and never for anything else.

MADE FOR LISTENING
No ads. Nothing autoplaying into a track you did not ask for. The scrubber is drawn from the track itself, so you can find the part you want by eye.

PUT SOMEBODY ON TO IT
Turn any track into a card and send it to Instagram or TikTok, artist credited.

IF YOU MAKE THE MUSIC
Your numbers on your phone: what sold, who bought it, where they came from, and the moments people go back to. Post to your fanclub from here. Listing and pricing stay on the web dashboard.

Ninety percent of every sale goes to the artist.

### 5/5 — Actually OWN the music

*2026-09-29*

I’ve been using FIRSTPRESS for a bit and it’s actually different. You get one track at a time instead of doomscrolling a feed, and when you buy something it’s on your phone for real. No sub, no “oops your access expired.” Buying straight from the artist (music, merch, tickets, all in one spot) just feels better. Looks clean too.

### 5/5 — Supporting The Indie Artist!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-28

pre-sale fix

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-27

Pre-orders and staggered releases: locked tracks now show when they unlock instead of an error, and pre-orders read "Pre-ordered" with the release date.
A refreshed look across release, artist, Library, merch and ticket pages, with track details (BPM, format, quality) behind the ••• on every track.
Preview a track right from its details, and scrub the waveform to jump around.
You now stay signed in on slow connections.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-26

A whole new FIRSTPRESS.

  We redesigned the app from the ground up to make finding, playing and owning music feel better than ever.

  • New Discover: music spins on a record. Swipe through new tracks and hear them instantly.
  • Redesigned Browse: a new featured carousel, fresh releases, trending picks, and a list view for All releases.
  • Artist pages: bigger photos, cleaner layouts, and everything from an artist in one place: music, events, merch and community.
  • New player: the mini player now sits with the tab bar, with next and back buttons, and long titles scroll.
  • Your Library: Keep listening picks up where you left off, and sorting is easier.
  • Notifications that work: tap any notification to jump straight to it. The badge shows how many are new and clears when you've seen them.
  • Merch and tickets: a smoother cart, clearer add-to-cart feedback, and your tickets with QR codes in My tickets.
  • Everywhere: simpler navigation, swipe back on every page, and a fresh sign-up screen.

  Plus fixes and speed improvements throughout, including a fix for merch checkout.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-03

Tickets are here.

Buy a ticket to a show from the artist's page and it lands in a wallet inside the app. The event, the venue and the door time come with it.

Everything else in this release is a fix:

Joining a fanclub works from the phone. The button was there and did nothing.

Merch checkout shows what you are buying and what it costs, with the amount on the button you press.

A record you paid for plays in full. A bug could hand you the thirty second preview of something already in your library.

The agreements screen no longer comes back on every launch.

Order History loads again, and the app no longer tells a signed-in fan they are signed out.

Fanclub feeds were coming up empty. The posts are back.

Cover art and titles arrive together instead of popping in over a grey square.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-26

No release notes.
