Why BandStand
Done renting your audience from streaming platforms?
BandStand is the WordPress music player built for independent musicians who are done renting their audience from streaming platforms. Install it on your own site in minutes and give your listeners a genuinely immersive experience — looping video backgrounds, a live graphic equaliser, synced lyrics, and seamless social sharing, all dressed in your own colours and branding.
While Spotify pays fractions of a penny per stream, BandStand puts a donate button right next to every track and lets fans download music after supporting you directly.

Built for artists
Every feature exists because musicians asked for it
Unlike bloated page builder plugins or generic audio embeds, BandStand was designed from the ground up for artists.
Looping video backgrounds
Set a video backdrop for your player that loops silently behind your music — cinematic and completely on-brand.
Live graphic equaliser
A real-time EQ visualiser that reacts to your audio — a premium touch that generic embeds simply cannot offer.
Donate-to-download
Let fans support you before downloading. Honour-based, friction-free, and far more personal than a paywall or streaming royalty.
Synced lyrics
Upload a VTT or SRT file and lyrics scroll automatically in time with the music, giving fans a deeper connection to your songs.
Social sharing built in
Pre-written share messages for every track make it effortless for fans to spread your music across their networks.
Drag-and-drop track ordering
Arrange your tracklist exactly as you want it — with per-track artwork, artist notes, and individual download settings.
Floating mini-player
A compact player that follows your visitors as they scroll — so the music never stops, no matter where they navigate on your site.
Lock screen controls
Full playback controls on mobile lock screens and notification panels — your site behaves like a native music app.

Your branding, your colours, your fonts. No Spotify logo or YouTube ad in sight — configured entirely from a clean admin dashboard.
