No sources (thereby not verafiable), fails WP:NBAND and WP:GNG due to no claim of notability in article. WP:BEFORE failed to bring up anything of note. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 16:05, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If nothing was found during a WP:BEFORE search, that was either a very quick search or it was complicated by the band's bland name. A search in conjunction with the name of frontman David Feinstein leads to better results. In any case, the article certainly needs help but per WP:NEXIST it can be improved rather than deleted. This is one of those bands that is well-known to insiders but never hit it big with the public, but their influence is verifiable. They have a robust biography at AllMusic [1] (though there is an Iron Maiden illustration for some reason), and here are some additional articles: [2], [3], [4], [5]. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: there are also reviews of the reformed band's most recent album: [6], [7], [8]. Given the big-name acts they opened for in the past, and the lead singer's family connection with one of the most famous hard rock singers ever, it seems inconceivable that the rock magazines didn't give them some coverage in print back in the 1980s.
