 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Leaning Keep: the trajectory of this band seems to have mirrored that of the band they evolved from, Polytechnic – interest from the music press and alternative radio stations, supported bigger name acts on tour, released one album, then split up... at least, I assume they split up before making a second album, because their website and their record company's website are both dead, and the band's social media goes cold in 2013. It's true I can't find much in-depth coverage of the band itself online. But their sole album was reviewed by a variety of reputable UK music publications, as shown at AnyDecentMusic (the MusicOMH review link is dead, but easily retrievable using the Wayback Machine). Wide coverage of this album doesn't surprise me, given that Polytechnic had attracted a fair amount of interest from radio and record labels, and there would be interest in the music coming from this new group. And given that the album was reviewed in so many publications, I think it's likely that there would be at least brief print coverage of the band itself in NME and Q from the time.
