Band does not appear to be notable per WP:NMUSIC. There are no citations to any reliable sources in the article and the body of the article reads like promotional copy. A cursory Google search reveals a capsule review of one of their albums in Exclaim! magazine, but that alone does not seem like a solid basis for notability.

Agreed. Most of the Google results seem to be professional wrestling-related. Uncle Dick (talk) 20:24, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (or redirect the search term as suggested by the previous voter). Note that the band has won some PEI Music Awards and East Coast Music Awards (see e.g. [1]), and both of those are dedicated to their region in Canada. Those awards ceremonies seem to attract only local media coverage. In turn, that gets this band some very brief listings in local media. They have a brief mention at Blabbermouth for one gig opening for Metallica ([2]) and occasional album reviews at specialty blogs, but I can find little else in reliable sources that is specifically about them and their music. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
