Keep In addition to sources already in the article, there's, for starters, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] - plenty enough for WP:MUSIC bullet one, at minimum. Chubbles (talk) 04:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This band is known in and foundational in the experimental music genre. They are credited for influencing a wide swaths of bands of today include Guerrilla Toss, Aids Wolf, etc. (https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2016/04/guttersnipe.html) and is taught in jazz conservatory school. I believe that this band is important to understanding noise and experimental music. I believe bands like Caroliner also have the same level of reference and are seminal bands. I believe FWOE is as deserving.

Based on the criteria for significance referenced (WP:NBAND or WP:GNG, they meet the criteria of being on notable independent labels including Load, Ecstatic Peace, Feeding Tube, and more.

I did a quick web search for reference and found the following:

They were # 20 on “Highest Rated Experimental Rock Albums of 2006” on All Music.

More links: interview, review in sputnik, Free Music, ADHD Weekly

Listed shows in New York Times,

The Stranger, ArtFuse

Also, another criteria is members being in other notable bands. Besides Deerhoof and Caroliner as mentioned in post, members are in bands such as Gloyd with Wendy Eisenberg, named "Best Experimental Music of 2024" by Bandcamp Daily, duo with Bill Nace, Buddies, and on RRR.

Keep: plenty of coverage which passes notability criteria. Article seems well referenced and a look online reveals plenty more sources. InDimensional (talk) 21:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in view of the multiple reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion such as Pitchfork, Exclaim, AllMusic, The Skinny and others which together shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
