Delete The only sources are unreliable: one is an associated act of the band, the other is a non-notable "recording studio". I will just mention the sourcing of the band's own press release from it's associated website not even existing anymore on their page, just for the humor of it.

Keep. Clearly passes WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Coverage includes Allmusic ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]), The Guardian, Goldmine, Exclaim!, Blue Suede News, Courier-News, Astbury Park Press, Sun Herald, Home News Tribune, and while they may be slightly less meaningful than some of their other charts, they appeared on both the 'Coolest Garage Songs' and 'Coolest Garage Singles' charts in Billboard ([7], [8]). Judging notability solely based on the sources within an article is inadvisable. --Michig (talk) 12:56, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I stand corrected. Thanks for the information Mich. Judicatus | Talk 17:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Notability has been shown by Michig. SL93 (talk) 16:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:BAND, as noted above. — sparklism ^hey! 07:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
