Delete - per nom, non-notable band.-KH-1 (talk) 00:59, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. COI also applies, as the article was written by the bassist of the band (Alexander Rakic under the username "Alexrakic777") back in 2014. (That also explains why the name is written in all capitals in the text...) And just copying "Billboard Magazine ....." is not going to cut it, in my opinion. Of course it's reliable, but still, it's just one good source, we need more (and I don't like it when a book/magazine is just copied in the sources section, and that's it, because I cannot determine how much is the coverage in said book/magazine, although this time it says "p. 58" so if one page is about them, that is very good for a start but still, this is just one good source).

Delete sources don't seem to exist, and even their press kit claims next to nothing, success-wise. --- Possibly (talk) 03:15, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clearly written promotionally, the Billboard mention is not substantial ("Glen Robinson recorded a project for Shovelhead at Studio Morin Heights (formerly Le Studio) in Quebec" is the entirety of material on the band). power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:08, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
