 * Delete: First off, the article doesn't make a clear claim of notability. The only remotely notable thing that is mentioned is one of the band members' BAFTA, but that's not supported in the source given, and doesn't necessarily speak to the band's notability. The three sources given are:
 * Punktastic Review
 * I don't see Blag mentioned here.
 * Ska Mutiny band of the week
 * Dead link. Clearly not a particularly reliable source if the site is dead so soon after referencing!
 * Access to Music article about Kelle's BAFTA
 * A promotional publication of the music school which doesn't actually mention the BAFTA despite the link text. --Slashme (talk) 08:51, 6 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Article almost entirely the work of three SPAs, only working on this band and the town of North Walsham, and likely autobiographical – one of the SPAs was "Innercitymixtape", and the Instagram name of drummer Daryl Blyth is "Innercityd" . Seeing as their website address has now been taken over by an entirely different group named Blag, I think it's safe to say this group is long since defunct. Daryl Blyth and bassist Kelle Mulcahy married and have a family, and Kelle Blyth (as she now is) seems to have gained far more fame as one of the UK's leading collectors of Pez dispensers than she ever did with the band, . It's never a good sign when your "side projects and activities outside the band" section is longer than that of the band itself. Richard3120 (talk) 15:11, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
