Up-and-coming band; "they're gonna release their own album soon!". Fails WP:MUSIC as I read it. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  16:30, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak delete per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:HAMMER. They are not quite there yet.  In their defense, they have played at South by Southwest and on a BBC radio show.  On the other hand, I see no evidence they have yet to release their debut CD, nor that they have ever headlined in a national tour. Bearian (talk) 18:23, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. They have gotten some notice for a couple of singles, including a TV advert and BBC radio appearances. First album supposed to be released end of summer. I've added a couple of cites to the article, and I'd give long odds that they'll at least be able to edge into the sufficiently notable zone within a year. But maybe not. If they pack it in, open a butty shop, and are never heard from again, then no. So, not yet. If anyone's interested enough, then WP:USERFY or WP:Article Incubator would be good alternatives. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
