No sources and fails all points of WP:MUSIC. The page makes some pretty wild claims (like sharing the stage with very notable bands such as Twisted Sister, Warrant, etc), but fails to back them up. ~  Baron Von Yiffington . talk. contribs 14:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MUSIC. An unsigned local band formed in 2006 that hasn't even put out an album yet has performed with a pantheon of famous bands?  Sounds unlikely in the extreme.  Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Question- Out of curiosity, was any attempt made to contact the commenter in the previous AFD who asked what could be done to improve the article? I have no vote on the article itself, but it seems like they were new and wanted to know what they could do to bring the article up to wiki standards. Allowing userfication perhaps might be a viable option, if the article can be made into a decent stub. Umbralcorax (talk) 16:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I added a note to the user's talk page as requested by the admin who closed the last debate, explaining why it was being deleted. If he can find sources, I have no problem voting keep, but I find it extremely unlikely that a band who has never released an album, gone on a tour or been in a magazine has played along side the bands listed, so I doubt that references would come up. I'm trying to assume good faith on those claims, but it's difficult. ~  Baron Von Yiffington  . talk . contribs 16:55, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: In addition (I just noticed this, so sorry for the double comment), but the article lists them as having played two days at the first Rocklahoma festival, yet the page for Rocklahoma does not, in fact, show them as playing there for one day, let alone a record-setting two as claimed. If these guys were famous enough to play alongside all the bands listed, wouldn't you think they would be notable enough to be on the official Rocklahoma set list? Not to mention, all of this, and they are only three years old as a band and aren't signed to a record. Again, assuming good faith, but it's definitely suspicious. ~  Baron Von Yiffington  . talk . contribs 17:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as unnotable - my search failed to turn up any significant coverage to prove the band worthy of inclusion. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
