Scriptable

My favourite band’s site doesn’t have a JSON file (check them out, they’re great!) so I had to work directly on the HTML. Here’s a screenshot and the code I wrote based on what @rob shared here, so thank you for the guidance! Also, thank you @simonbs for creating such a cool app! I’m looking forward to playing around with it even more.
