Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC for anything, and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. Their albums were self-released on Bandcamp, so the fact that there are two of them does not pass NMUSIC #5 (which requires a major or large-indie label), and the video game soundtrack is for an indie game on Steam, not a notable release that would satisfy NMUSIC #10. And even if either of those claims were accepted as notability, NMUSIC still requires the claim to be reliably sourced to media coverage, and does not confer an exemption from that just because the claim has been asserted -- but the article is sourced only to their own self-published Bandcamp page. I'm also bundling their album, as it makes and sources no credible claim of notability besides existing either. As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which a band automatically gets to have an article just because their own presence on social networking platforms proves that they exist -- certain specific standards of notability and sourceability have to be achieved for an article to become earned, but nothing here satisfies either part of that equation.

 * Delete - I am unable to find coverage to suggest that the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:BAND at this time.  Gongshow   talk  02:58, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
