Semi-advertorialized article about a band and an even more blatantly advertorialized standalone WP:BLP of one of its members, not reliably sourced as clearing WP:NMUSIC. Neither article makes any notability claim besides the fact that their music exists, and both articles are depending far too strongly on primary sources (setlist databases, concert listings calendars, record label PR, the band's own self-published social networking profiles) and WP:BLOGS -- the only evidence of real media coverage in either article comes entirely from community weekly newspapers in McWilliams' own hometown media market, which is not wide enough coverage to claim that he's gotten over WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass NMUSIC's achievement criteria. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because their existence is verifiable -- they have to achieve something that passes NMUSIC, and they have to have reliable source coverage to support it, and nothing here passes either part of that equation. As well, both articles were created at the same time by an editor who's never contributed to Wikipedia on any other topic, suggesting the possibility of conflict of interest editing by McWilliams himself or a paid PR agent.
