On Bands About Bands, Steemian artists pick up the pen and write a review about a fellow Steemian band or artist. We invite all of you to give a proper shoutout to a band or artist you discovered on Steemit, or is active on Steemit. 27 (!!!) amazing reviews have now been written so far.

Today marks the day that season 3, episode three starts. The following week, all previous entries will be added to our website's Bands About Bands section.
