Ahoy Steemians! It's time to cast your vote! Only if you vote before 19:00 CEST May 26th (that's UTC+2) your vote will count. Also, episode 3 will be announced tomorrow so if you missed this episode, make sure to check back tomorrow (to see who won) and write about, support, shoutout and promote a Steemian band/artist :-)

A high quality episode this has been yet again! With 3 reviews written, this is turning into an awesome season already. Giving exposure to fellow bands and artists you love, that's what the independent music industry and Steemit is all about.

How to cast your vote?
