Inner Surge[edit]

No assertion of notability that I saw, that meets the Wikipedia:Notability (music), but maybe I missed something. I didn't find anything in Google News. There has been enough debate about notability on the talk page to make me keen to bring this to a wider audience, rather than tag it for speedy deletion.

Delete: I am no expert on where to source material for indie bands, but I have looked at all the material, and it looks suspiciously like pretty blatant advertising complete with spam links. The principal contributor, User:Portalzoom appears to be a single-purpose account for the creation of this walled garden. It appears to be a piece of soapboxing for a band whose notability is not entirely well-established by the article - could be just another myspace band... ;-) There are copious external links to Cyclone Records, and another reviewers whose importance, credibility and independence are not easy to verify. In fact, many are on Cyclone Records' own servers; some appear to be blogs, personal websites or fansites. A Gsearch gives 559 Ghits, and there are some potentially validating links there which someone more into the Indie-metal scene should evaluate. I suspect that it may come down to a cleanup without delete. However, if delete, the article for their album Signals Screaming, and two redirect links Bryan Sandau and Scott Taylor should go as well - I have taken the liberty of adding them above.
