This article has quite a few problems. For one, there is a major COI issue to deal with. I don't know for a fact, but the image uploads are by Jason Colemen, which is very similar to the lead singer Dave Colemen. Also, tie that in with the statements made in the bio section. Some of them seem to be statements that only a person close to the band would know. I didn't find any of the friends statements on any of the sites given. Besides all of that, this article fails WP:RS and WP:MUSIC. No notable label. No major tours. A supposed link to The Lonely Hearts, but it's not certain or sourced.

  • delete The CMT page for the band shows regional tour, not national tour. Same with BillBoard Circle Back Records does not appear to be a significant label. Allmusic does not show any charts or awards. No assertion of notability in the article. If someone could show me how they charted on BillBoard, that would be appreciated.

  • Keep There are many bands out there without chart success or awards that are nonetheless notable. Being on an indie label shouldn't be criteria for deletion, especially with 4 releases. Vrefron (talk) 13:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
