The bio text is being truncated. I looked at the lastfmartistbio.nfo for one of these and what is happening (ISTM) is that there are embedded links in the text and the text is being truncated when the first anchor "<a..." is encountered. Is that the fault of AS addon, the skin or XBMC do you think? If you need I could install the Confluence AS mod and check it in that.
AS strips basically all that stuff out. The bio is likely truncated because as of February 13, 2013 last.fm truncates the bio at 300 characters and then provides a link that says "more info" (which AS also strips out). That's one of the reasons that 1.5.4 tries to get the bio from theaudiodb.com if it can.
