Failsafe (American band)

This doesn't seem to be a notable band. The article still mentions a planned EP release and tour in 2009 and the only significant edit since then has been to change the name of a member. There's only one reference not published by the band or a record label and that's a radio interview which is not an independent source for the content for which it's used here. Search doesn't find any good sources and many results are for the British band, or a band from Los Angeles. Peter James (talk) 20:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Appears to tick every box on the lists at WP:YAMB and WP:GARAGEBAND – they don't appear to have made any more records after the 2009 EP mentioned in the article. Their page at the Purevolume site (note: this website is shutting down on June 30) mentions a vocalist, Chase Novick, who isn't in the Wikipedia article. I can't be 100% certain these are the same people, of course, but given that they have the same distinctive names as the band members and are based in the same city, it appears founder Maloney and singer Novick still occasionally make music at home and upload their songs to Soundcloud  and  – Novick also now appears to work in sales as his full-time job, according to his LinkedIn profile . Given that Novick started university in 2010, the year after the band's final EP, it seems likely that this was a high school band which ended when the various members went to university or got jobs, and never had more than a couple of singles/EPs out on non-notable record labels. The EP's producer has a better claim to notability than this band . Richard3120 (talk) 16:56, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete unfortunately as lack of coverage in reliable sources, no entry at all at AllMusic for example Atlantic306 (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
