Not notable, references are either press releases, tour announcements or promotional. Page appears to be promotional, perhaps created by band's manager. WP:BAND criteria not met.Skrelk (talk) 15:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems no more or less notable than any of the other bazillions of obscure band articles. They have at least produced some music. --gilgongo (talk) 20:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They don't seem to meet notability criteria per WP:BAND Skrelk (talk) 00:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't find any evidence that these guys meet WP:BAND at present. AllMusic, which is a pretty good place to start when trying to determine notability of Western popular music, has a short biography of a band with the same name, but that appears to be about a different band entirely. — sparklism ^hey! 07:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Simply self-finaced, self-published music. This is not a notable band and had no independent sources. Fails to meet WP:BAND H6PAYH (talk) 23:55, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sources are provided for the information presented. This band meets number 7 of the criteria for Detroit post-hardcore, which has been sourced in the article appropriately:

7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
