The Israelites
The information on the band The Israelites is incorrect or out of date. The band released 2 more albums after 1998, plus a recent worship album. Also, they have relocated to the Portland, OR area and are still playing shows. Bclovato (talk) 07:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Out of date, then. Can you provide resources to show that? The best that I found was a website from around 2000 stating that a third album was planned, but no indication of much activity after the millennium. Dan, the CowMan (talk) 09:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Had two fairly popular albums. Were well received. Too bad they were left out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.14.187.109 (talk) 01:54, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you have any sales numbers, tours or something to support "well received", or are you saying you liked their albums? http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bunch-of-believers-mn0001815135 says they weren't reviewed well (by a single user) and http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/artists/default.asp?artiststyle_id=9 doesn't list them at all so no hope of reviews there. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music has 3/5 of a column for them, so not a major endorsement or coverage there. It was my understanding that they were a label creation: "Hey, ska is popular with the kids now, we should get a band together that does ska." The fact that the band members never actually used their real names (they were all variants of "Bob") doesn't help. I don't know that they toured or performed to support the release of It's a Ska, Ska, Ska World and I doubt they did for Ska-la-la-la-la (which has been played while we set-up our outdoor Christmas lights since the year after I got the disc). They may have only been a studio band. Without something to support notability or verifiable material to support performances, it doesn't make sense to include them.

The W's
The W's deserve some mention here, although they were technically a swing band. They were featured on one of the early WOW compilations and when pretty big in the Christian scene for awhile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Browilliams (talk • contribs) 12:05, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
