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.
