Not notable, references are either press releases, tour announcements or promotional. Page appears to be promotional, perhaps created by band's manager. WP:BAND criteria not met.Skrelk (talk) 15:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Seems no more or less notable than any of the other bazillions of obscure band articles. They have at least produced some music. --gilgongo (talk) 20:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

 7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
 * Delete. Simply self-finaced, self-published music. This is not a notable band and had no independent sources. Fails to meet WP:BANDH6PAYH (talk) 23:55, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
