Fails WP:BAND. Looked online and wasn't able to find anything that meets the guidelines for passing the SNS here. Also checked the newspaper archives and wasn't able to find anything. I will admit it might be hard with the band name to locate suitable material, if someone finds something obvious I missed please ping me so I can retract the nomination.

- Hopefully, these 14 sources help. I understand user-generated content isn’t applicable, but here’s a quick search of conversations involving Shower Beers from within the pop-punk scene over the last year as well - perhaps these provide enough notability within the music scene Shower Beers resides.

- Comment Looking at the sources provided here at AfD I checked them. One thing that stood out is that they were all released within a day of each other and the sources appear to not pass to be used in establishing notability.
Source assessment table:
| ||||
| Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Mic Mag | ~ Magazine is also a record label. It appears to have been a small publication at first and is not also a label | ~ If a label is writing articles then I'm not sure if it can really be reliable anymore |  Article is quite short but it is about the band
|
~ Partial |
| Broadway World | ~ I wasn't able to figure out if this outlet was independent or just a PR outlet with a few legit reviews mixed in. | ~ Came out one day before the Mic Mag article and both read very promotional | Article is about the band
|
~ Partial |
| Audio Angest | ? Site is really just one man Ian Roth | ? Site is hosted on substack and the article came out on the same day as the Broadway World article | Article is about the band
|
? Unknown |
| buzz-music.com | ~ Not sure if everything on the site is user submitted or influenced |  Site appears to just let you submit info about your band
|
Article is about the band
|
✘ No |
| punkrocks.co.uk | ~ No editorial policy page, articles mostly appear to be authored by one person Oscar Manners | ~ Lack of editorial structure makes it hard to figure out if this is reliable. Also this article was released on the same day as all the others | ~ Article is quite short compared to the others, coverage is only about them but there isn't much there/ | ~ Partial |

Delete per nominator; they don't yet meet the notability criteria. Maybe it's just too soon, but the sources that currently exist are dodgy. JSFarman (talk) 19:11, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I've written a few articles on bands over time, and I'm afraid this one is not yet what I'd want to see for notability, e.g., a few profiles in mainstream newspapers. honestly i thought this article was going to be about drinking beer in the shower, but i checked out the music while searching, its quality pop punk.--Milowent • hasspoken 19:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
