Bandcamp is pretty good. They do writeups that I think are written by real people. When you look at a band you like, it tells you about stuff other people who like them have. I've found a lot of stuff there.
It is more about buying music than renting it, however. Most albums it will ask you to buy after a certain number of plays. I think the band can configure those details
Bandcamp was bought out by Epic Games, fired half of it's staff to make the bottom line look better, and is now owned by some private corporate music licensing company that refuses to recognize it's employee union and fired even more employees that were all involved in their unionization effort. I wouldn't recommend supporting them anymore.
This all happened in September btw so any enshittification of the service has yet to come to fruition.
