Article fails to establish band's notability per WP:BAND or WP:GNG despite the large number of references. Closer inspection of the references reveals the majority to be blogs. Of the the ones that aren't blogs - the BBC, The Guardian and XFM - the band only get a passing mention, barely even getting a full sentence to themselves if they get mentioned at all.

- Delete Appears to be an attempt to fein notability with reference spam to blogs and other un-reliable sources. Agree with nominator that while those sources that are reliable, the band isn't the subject of the coverage and mentioned only briefly. RadioFan (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
