Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage. The only notability claim being made here is that they and their music exist, with no attempt to even suggest that they pass any actual NMUSIC criteria; and the only sources being cited are one article in their local newspaper and an unreliable WordPress blog. And even on a Google search, the only other sources I can find that are non-trivially about the band, as opposed to glancingly mention its existence in the process of being fundamentally about something else, are from the other local newspaper in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Guelph triangle and another unreliable blog. This is not the depth or range or volume of media coverage a band would have to show to get over WP:GNG in lieu of actually achieving anything that would pass NMUSIC.

* Delete Lacks accomplishments or the kind of coverage necessary for wikipedia notability. Apparent promotional/vanity page by editor whose only other wikipedia activity is for a page (Benjamin Dakota Rogers) that shares a connection ("Electric Boy," referenced in their local paper article) with this subject.
