Article about a band which makes a potentially valid claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC, depending on how much importance you attach to Revelation Records for the purposes of criterion #5, but completely drops the ball for reliably sourcing it: the referencing here is to (a) their own page on the record label's website, (b) last.fm and (c) discogs.com, none of which counts a whit toward getting a band over WP:GNG. A band does not get an inclusion freebie under NMUSIC just because the passage of one NMUSIC criterion is claimed; it gets included or excluded on the basis of the sourcing you can provide to verify the claim, but none of the "sourcing" here passes muster. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when it can be sourced properly. Bearcat (talk) 03:30, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
