Fails the notability guideline for musicians and bands and the general notability guideline due to a lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. SITH (talk) 12:44, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article is probably a copy of self-promotional material from the band's website, as no encyclopedic article would complain about the "apathy" of the local scene because the band can't get a gig. More importantly, I can find no reliable coverage of the band as a working unit, and just a few brief reviews of their albums in unreliable blogs ([1], [2], [3]). Not enough for a Wikipedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:17, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Ha, I think this lot are way too punk to have anything as "corporate sellout" as a website, Doomsdayer520 ;-) The majority of this article was created by an IP (their sole edit to Wikipedia – probably either a band member or a fan disgruntled at "the system" that stops their heroes becoming legends) and later embellished by another IP with further OR. It's true that their first two albums were reviewed in The Wire magazine, but unless anyone has a digital subscription to the magazine's archive or print copies of issues 187 and 200, we're not going to be able to access them... and anyway, those are reviews of the albums, not of the band itself. There were some really poor "keep" reasons given at the last AfD – one editor noting that a band member was a former member of a more notable outfit, which is true but a WP:INHERITED argument, and another stating that they pass four criteria of WP:MUSIC, at least two of which are demonstrably factually untrue. There just don't seem to be any reliable sources that could be used to save this article, even if it were rewritten in a more encyclopedic style.
