Tagged as needing sources since 2009, with none forthcoming and I can't turn anything decent up. Not seeing much to get it past WP:BAND to be honest. Hiding T 16:34, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The substantial bio and album review at Allmusic and the band's entry in The Encyclopedia of Popular Music are sufficent to satisfy notability criteria. They were one of the biggest bands of the Romo movement and got quite a bit of press back in the mid-90s, as indicated in CMJ New Music Monthly. Further coverage here and here which, while brief, demonstrate the band's importance to the genre. --Michig (talk) 19:20, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- From memory they got very little press back in the mid-90's, tiny snippets and the one 8 page spread in the Maker that CMJ mention, which doesn't amount to quite a bit of press. NME didn't cover it at all. Hiding T 20:53, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep with thanks to Michig for providing coverage. Drmies (talk) 21:00, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Plenty of non-trivial, independent coverage to show that WP:MUSICBIO is met. — sparklism hey! 07:16, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
