Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I release an Album on BandLab?

It’s easy! Here’s a walkthrough of the entire process.

Are there restrictions on the type of content I can release in an Album?

Explicit or other forbidden content is not allowed in the Album title or artwork. If explicit language or content is used in the context of your tracks, be sure to add an Explicit Content Warning to the project(s) used.

A full list of forbidden content can be found in the Community Guidelines.

Are there restrictions on what type of album art I can use?

Album artwork is held to the same standards as audio content. We encourage you to make unique album art, as the inclusion of protected work can result in the album being removed.
