In spite of claims in the article to cross-Canada radio play and international distribution of their recordings, I haven't been able to find even one recording or performance review, or any other independently written information, about this band. —Anne Delong (talk) 12:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I actually was able to find a handful of hits for this band on a ProQuest search, once I filtered the search to eliminate hits on the generic phrase "faith and desire" as a euphemism for spirituality and religion rather than the name of a rock band — but the hits were all glancing acknowledgements of the band's existence in routine concert listings, not substantive coverage about the band. So the article simply isn't salvageable: there's no substantive reliable source coverage locatable to support it, and bands are not handed a free pass over NMUSIC just because the article makes unsourced and unsourceable claims to passing NMUSIC. And for that matter, Ian Cameron (musician) (the only band member with a standalone BLP separate from the band) may not really qualify for an article either.
