Reason for deletion - No reliable sources are used. Obscure and non-notable band. This is a blog. This is a blog. This is a wiki. This does not seem to pass GNG  This does not pass GNG.

 * Keep - This article receives more than enough mention on compilation albums and write-ups. May I remind you that pre-Internet bands sometimes do not get a wealth of sources, yet this one gets respectable amounts and is still talked about.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 14:52, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Comment How does this pass GNG? Unreliable sources as per WP:USERG, and WP:RSSELF. 173.52.99.208 (talk) 17:52, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

keep I should mention two things. One, that "blog" is actually an extensive interview. The other blog was replaced by a booklet presumably with extensive coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALongStay (talk • contribs) 17:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Keep: Not only have several of their songs been included in compilations, but their song, "We're Gonna Love" is included on Back from the Grave series, which is one of the best-known and most high-profile in the genre. The group's EP was released on Sundazed Records, a relatively large-scale operation. In Mike Markesich's book, Teenbeat Mayhem, in the section that ranks the top 1000 garage rock songs of all time, voted on by a panel of noted garage writers and experts (out of the more than 16,000 US-recorded songs mentioned in the book), "We're Gonna Love" ranks #416, placing it in the top 500 American garage rock records. So, the band should be considered notable--they warrant an article at Wikipedia. Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:13, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
