Non-notable band which fails WP:NBAND. Never charted, AllMusic profile doesn't even list half the albums they supposedly created. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 03:44, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ per OP's rationale. I can't find anything from an independent third party confirming notability. Orville1974 (talk) 15:37, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Wow. I don't know why I had such a hard time finding the references pointed out by the editors below. I'd like to retract my delete recommendation. Orville1974 (talk) 13:49, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as they do at least have an informative AllMusic bio, will look for more sources Atlantic306 (talk) 22:22, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The band has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial works including: New York Magazine, MTV, and SPIN. --Surachit (talk) 01:10, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nomination contains no evidence of WP:BEFORE. A quick Google search found [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. --Michig (talk) 09:48, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree that the above reliable sources show that the band passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 1 (only one criteria needed) as well as WP:GNG, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:23, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
