So lets face it - there was no thread yet so I made one...
Let your inner music critic have a voice

That's my efforts would love to hear what everyone else gets up to!

Black Heino

A German punk rock (or post punk?) band that I like very much. Their first real album is coming out in june and I'm really excited about it.

Boisson Divine

A French folk-metal band I found due to looking for metal in various (preferably rather small) languages. Their first album has about a 50-50 split between French and Occitan, and their second has no French at all.

As I don't know the language (and understand just a little bit of French), I'll have to use a quote off their Bandcamp page in order to describe the texts: "The texts are a reflection of the daily lives of the musicians : rugby, legends, songs to the land, rural solidarity, feasts, traditional songs, preserving heritage and tributes to historical figures."

If you're into that kind of stuff, try out our local Villagers of Ioannina City at Bandcamp. They fuse greek traditional folk music with psychedelic stoner rock/metal and they're pure gold.

Let's change the genre

Masha Qrella is a singer-songwriter from Berlin and I really like her voice and her compositions.

Awesome, I certainly will.
EDIT: Most of the titles and lyrics are in Greek, I assume? Curious that all song titles are written in Latin characters. :-P

Wishbone Ash After the Allman Brothers Band, one of the first '70s bands to utilize a twin lead guitar lineup.

Stick Men A progressive power trio that includes King Crimson bassist Tony Levin and drummer Pat Mastelotto.

Crimson ProjeKCt Another King Crimson spin-off that is a combination of the Stick Men and the touring trio of King Crimson guitarist / lead vocalist Andrew Belew.

Bernie Worrell Keyboardist and composer, founding member of Parliament-Funkadelic; also known for his work with Talking Heads and various fusion projects.

Can we include Jamendo in this, or is that somehow off-limits?
I'm asking because there is where a Spanish metal group I quite enjoy, called Metáfora, have released their albums for free listening and download.

Die Liga der Gewöhnlichen Gentlemen

Successor of Superpunk (who never did punk music), one of my favourite bands. Northern Soul from Hamburg.

Miracle of Sound

Recommend most of it but mostly his earlier work

Wow epic, I like it - this sounds like music to travel through Mordor with! No mucking around here, listening to Europa:2 Frauen this goes straight for the throat! Loving the energy, I imagine these guys would be something to see live. The music is really raw and the production is spot on! This is not really the sort of music I listen to though the blend of the folk with metal work surprisingly well, the vocals are awesome. Face melting guitar solos!

Super glad for this thread! I'm in like flynn! goodgodfather.bandcamp.com

Bandcamp needs ratings.. how the hell can one find the best artists among thousands of them?

(it would also need classics, but that's another impossible wish..)

They don't really need ratings as it would end up in a popularity contest (rather than a tool for discovery) and in fact it already somehow exist as by default, the albums in a specified genre/tag are classified by "best-selling":
https://bandcamp.com/tag/neo-classical?sort_field=pop

If you were the kind of music geek who would spend at least one hour minimum in a music store, just browsing disks, then the "latest releases" in genre/tag is more for you (and to naturally bookmark so you can track the "scene"):
https://bandcamp.com/tag/neo-classical?sort_field=date

EDIT: I forgot to add that as a discovery tool, the homepage of bandcamp is interesting as they make articles and interviews of some artists (you have the ones at the top then if you scroll down a bit, you get a second coverage section):

Other than that, amateurs of industrial, experimental, noise, dark ambient, whatever can definititely bookmark the page of the German cult label Tesco as most of their catalog (already 30-years-old) is available:
https://tescogermany.bandcamp.com/

<span class="bold">Disasterpeace</span>, who is probably known to some indie game players as a game composer.

Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar is an album that is brilliant from the beginning to the end.
