 * Keep Important part of Glasgow's music scene and certainly more notable than some other articles I have seen. Google hits on first album not particularly valid measure, especially owing to the title's unusual spelling. Have also undertaken a UK tour, plus an additional one as support, and are about to release a second album on a major label. Press coverage includes national newspapers, magazines and radio. --Seaweasel 11.34, 24 July 2006 (BST)
 * Then it will be a simple matter for you to cite some of the articles. Please cite some sources. Uncle G 00:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Feature in The Scotsman; Feature in The Scotsman; BBC Radio Session; plus article in Plan B magazine (not available online), live review in the NME (not available online), and other articles to be cited. --Seaweasel 14.52, 25 July 2006 (BST)
 * Delete per The Scotsman, where they merit two sentences under Five That Should Make It, they haven't made it yet. When they do (i.e. two full albums, not singles, released by One/BMG), the article can be re-created. -- Wine Guy  Talk  01:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
