Band camp sends you updates about artists/producer you bought from. Feel like it's borderline scam, but may be a way

I bet they've got websites with RSS feeds. Pick up an RSS reader and subscribe to their news & announcements page.

That's my suggestion. It has a special section for new music from the artists you follow. I also find their recommendations fantastic. Found so much new stuff on RYM
A lot of artists have mailers or feeds they maintain - it's often easiest to just follow them directly.
This is the way to avoid all the spammy apps and services.
Not sure if by notification but last.fm will even give you heads up when music you listen to is in concerts. And supports scrobbling in many apps
- Social Media of them
- YouTube pages owned/operated by them
- Bandcamp
- Mail lists
- A google search every now and again
That's how I do it. Mainly YouTube and the eMails. But some of the bands I most listen to are more indie/obscure, so they play to their fans more than people on the level of Metalica and Taylor Swift.

Replace Artist ID with the string of characters found at the end of the artistβs Spotify URL.
Now this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Spottube (runs off Spotify) Innertune (runs off YT music)
I was running Spottube but it kept crashing, so I switched to innertune closes if you add too many songs in a row, but that's the only issue so far.
Spottube has all the features, including the new music station.
Musicbutler.io but it's not free
|I wanna know how I can cut out all those pesky artist updates so I can focus on whats new and corporately exciting with Spotify
Most music torrent sites have notifications for artists you follow.
I've been using Muspy for years: it loaded my artists from my Last.fm profile and has been sending me new releases via RSS. No ads except for Amazon links to buy the albums.
