Rules & Regs

The rules are very simple, we’re not here to inhibit you’re artistic licence. The rules are put in place to (A) protect BandAMP, (B) keep the forums clean, and (C) maintain a certain level of… maturity :)

(A) No Copies, No Covers



Do you have permission from the band and/or the owner of the original score? Then of coarse, you may upload them! … otherwise, keep reading…

The songs you submit to BandAMP must be original; written & composed by you, and/or your band. This is plain common good sense for yourself. By uploading your music you are agreeing to these Rules, therefore you would be held liable. And believe me, the RIAA and other associated corporations will go to great lengths to make your life miserable. Please do not submit plagiarized material, or we’ll be forced to suspend your account.

(B) No Dupes, No Re-Runs



In your songs folder there should be no dupes (i.e. exact same song, different name). There is one way to get around the “No Dupes” Rule — That is to re-record or re-mix your song in a new & innovative way — taking into consideration your critiques. Once you have substantially improved the song, and would like to give it another shot, you may re-submit your work… Be sure to title this new version “Your Song Name v2.0”, this way people will not think you are uploading a dupe. Keep no more than two versions of any given song on BandAMP.

Furthermore, once your song has won a competition, it may not be entered into any following contests. This also means each song may only win prizes once.

(C) R.E.S.P.E.C.T



When critiquing another musician’s song please be honest, helpful, and respectful. This does not mean we want you to be so nice that you compromise your own opinion… On the flip-side, don’t use any nasty four-letter words, even if that is your opinion ;) Anyone who is found flaming another member will either have their account suspended or be warned (depending on the degree of insolence).

BandAMP was designed to be fun, don’t take it too seriously…

Have Fun! ;)
