I've been doing a dive into some of the recently-rediscovered music files from mp3.com, which was the Internet's first Bandcamp. I think when Vivendi bought it, it was reported that the library would be completely wiped. Either someone salvaged or cloned the drives. The complete library (which I am slowly torrenting) is 3.6tb.
A smaller, searchable subset can be found/streamed/downloaded here. I just click the "Show All" option under Download options.
I've pitched an idea to a music YouTuber about a possible "Who Made This Banger?" series where they could start with just the song, the title and the artist (which is all the ID3 offers) and try to track them down.
I have a few mystery songs from Bandcamp. I know the titles, the band has a name—but I don’t know who made them. And what’s more, their music disappeared from Bandcamp.

Out of curiosity, have you tried to play them on speakers while using a song-identification app? There's a chance they may have a Distrokid account.
