I'm not very knowledgeable about bands and even less so about Bengali bands. However, the article appears to fail the criteria at WP:BAND. Of the two references currently in the article, only one (the first) is valid as the other doesn't even mention the band. The first is a very short mention in the The Times of India about the one album that has been released by the band and has become "popular". Although not strictly related to notability, the article was created by a band member, as was another article created about a band member (I deleted that one based on a speedy tag) that was apparently created by two band members (two accounts).

- Delete Relevant reference is trivial, and there is only one of them. Fails all other inclusion criteria. Benboy00 (talk) 18:00, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - The only two references given speak to the band's lack of notability. One exclaims that 150 fans have signed up for a fan club. The other peripherally mentions the band among others as playing at a mall.--Rpclod (talk) 00:52, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
