CEO Ethan Diamond announced the initiative in a post on Bandcamp Daily. In the announcement, Diamond addresses the Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from certain Middle Eastern countries from entering the country, saying: “This is not who we are, and it is not what we believe in. We at Bandcamp oppose the ban wholeheartedly, and extend our support to those whose lives have been upended.

“And so all day this Friday, February 3rd (starting at 12:01am Pacific Time), for any purchase you make on Bandcamp, we will be donating 100% of our share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union, who are working tirelessly to combat these discriminatory and unconstitutional actions.”

45 names have been added to the epic Download Festival.

System Of A Down, Biffy Clyro and Aerosmith will headline the three day festival this June, which take place at the U.K.'s Donington Park.

“We are proud to announce we have signed with Spinefarm Records and are currently recording at Sonic Ranch with Fred Archumbault,” the band said. “For the past three years, we have been working at our jobs, focusing on home lives, and making this project the best it can possibly be. Although a long time in the making, it was necessary for the growth of this band. Spinefarm understands our vision and what this band is all about. We could not be more excited to be working with them and finally getting this record out to all of you. We are here to stay.
Puke Rock Forever.
—Matt, Nick, Derek, Marshal”

The Devils Wears Prada are releasing a limited edition Transit Blues vinyl/box set, (via The PRP).

A 60 page book with photos by Anthony Barlich will come with the vinyl. It documents the Transit Blues recording process.

Jeremy DePoyster says about the release: “This photo book is an awesome glimpse into the intimacy behind The Devil Wears Prada. It’s a stark contrast to our bright, silhouetting lights in a live environment where we try to place the focus on the music itself. Anthony‘s vision shows a group of guys who came together to make something we passionately believe in, and I feel that it captures perfectly the places, both literal and in spirit, we were at during this year of the band’s life!”
