No sources with depth-of-coverage to meet WP:MUSIC; HuffPost article is a press release, others are mentions of this band with regards to them being the opening act in a few cases.

 * Keep per WP:BAND #5, for which I added a source. "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." Bar None Records meets that criteria, and this band released two albums on that label.   And I'm guessing Ropeadope Records also counts as a third album.

 * Keep based on WP:BAND and specifically releases on Bar None, which has acts like Alex Chilton and the Feelies in its roster.
 * Really no other justification for keep. The lack of sources speaks loudly for a band with this long a tenure, and although I disagree with nom that the HuffPo article is a press release, it's an interview which makes it questionable as a WP:RS. It seems Serpa himself gets more press than this band; might be easier to source as an article about him with the band as a sub-heading (but I'm not proposing or volunteering).
