Infest (band)[edit]

Also included:

Non-notable band. This fan site even admits the band "Infest never toured or even played outside of California for that matter." They don't appear to have been on a major label. No indication of importance. IrishGuy ^talk 01:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The band is one of the most influential hardcore bands of all time! They are considered the pioneers and creators of the entire power-violence genre. They were and still are extremely important to the hardcore punk scene in general. - Xtheblademaster — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xtheblademaster (talk • contribs)

Obviously whoever wants to delete this article has never attended a hardcore punk show. Go there. You see kids with Infest shirts. In the underground music scene this band is HUGE. Regardless if they were famous during their time, neither were most painters. What does that mean? Ask any hardcore kid who Infest is, they will know.--WEARESPLEEN 15:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, please provide sources to verify it. IrishGuy ^talk 01:46, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The band seems to be the primary influence on the power violence sub-genre of hardcore punk. Referencing this article, it may pass WP:MUSIC Criteria for musicians and ensembles 7.: "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city". An expert may be needed for more verifiable sources as it's an underground music style from 20 years ago and thus doesn't show up in a Google search. dissolve ^talk 20:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
