Once you download Bandito [iTunes link], the app scans your iTunes library in order to determine your most-played artists. From there, the app presents you with a list of blog posts and news related to bands you dig, as well as a list of news about "hot" artists.
In terms of concept, this is pretty solid app. Yeah, you could get a Google alert every time your favorite band's name graces the digital headlines, but this app makes it pretty simple to cut through the fluff.
However, Bandito could use a little work in execution. For instance, the app keeps insisting that my "Top Artists" are Depeche Mode and Spoon. Yes, I have one Depeche Mode album. I have no idea where it came from and I have never listened to it. And as for Spoon, yeah, if it were 2005, we'd be in business.
With the kinks worked out, Bandito could definitely be a fun little app to keep the casual listener updated on his or her favorite bands, and the hardcore music head satisfied during those interminable tune-less moments spent in the elevator every a.m.
