This article makes no attempt to assert the band's notability or give a coherent timeline, and not much more than the sources already given can be found. The one footnoted reference is a record company promo. The external link from Broadway World is a fairly descriptive intro but serves mostly as a gig announcement, and their album "Here Comes Joy" received a couple of brief reviews ([1], [2]). Otherwise only the typical routine listings can be found. It might be too soon for this band. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:40, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The points you raise are very well-taken! I had created the stub article hoping others would jump in, but only a few new contributions have rolled in. I have added a basic timeline, mentions of their music appearing in film and prominent commercials, and provided a richer set of references to support the content in this entry. I hope this goes some way towards resolving the concerns raised. Thank you for flagging this once again. Fanyavizuri (talk) 16:57, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I appreciate the initial editor's enthusiasm, but unfortunately the sources provided don't pass muster. Sources added since this article was first nominated include more citations to the same music blog previously cited: forfolkssake.com, to IMDb (unreliable), and [3] which does not look like reliable secondary source coverage. I would also add that Rough Trade is a record label and the content cited there does not include a byline, leading me to suspect that it is less a review and rather a promotional blurb from a source that is trying to sell you the album. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:23, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
