Submission Window Now Open For MusicBoxPete's "Bands of Summer" Shirtless Photo Special

The unofficial start of summer aka Memorial Day weekend is here, and with that comes the return of my annual "Bands of Summer" shirtless photo special! An annual fixture here on the site that celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, this special has become a mainstay with musicians getting a chance to showcase a different side of them by bearing some skin, and reveal a side of artists we'd never thought we'd see up close. This special is open up to all musicians, and everyone is encouraged to be creative and have fun when sending in these photos. Here are the criteria for photo submissions:

- For bands, the pic must contain one or all members of the group appearing shirtless, whichever they feel comfortable with.

- Pics must show visible nudity below the shoulders, no selfies please!

- Artists are encouraged to be creative and find wacky elements when it comes to showing off nudity for the camera, make it fun!

All photos must be submitted via e-mail to: musicboxpete@gmail.com. Please don't send DM's to my Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram feeds. The submission deadline for this year is Fri. June 27th and the first volume will be posted on Mon. Jun. 30th, so come and be a part of the action!
