On first appearance, the article looks like it wouldn't survive speedy deletion were it tagged. However, I'd rather not tag something that could potentially satisfy notability guidelines. Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater has mentioned them on their site, calling them " [his] favourite "new" band with an "old" sound." That in mind, they could potentially satisfy criterion 1 of WP:MUSIC That said, they don't appear to have attained much success and don't appear to be hugely notable. Opening for discussion.

 * Keep, passes WP:MUSIC for reviews on 2 of their albums, .   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that Allmusic tries to review all albums they cover, so such reviews don't really help establish notability. Also, no matter how well-reviewed the album is, it still leaves info on the actual band unverified. - Mgm|(talk) 09:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: have not met notability requirements, as per WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns (talk) 00:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - they are signed by InsideOut Music, which seems to be a fairly large label, according to their roster. Thus, they pass MUSIC. Óðinn (talk) 07:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
