I don't think that this page should be deleted. It's a project of mine to add more information on the band as I find it. There's no need to delete it; they are gaining popularity and was shocked that they don't yet have a page.

@Radioactive2321: The general rule of thumb is that no "up-and-coming" act is significant enough to have an article. I don't see anything in the article that suggests there's an exception here. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Bands may not have articles written about them until after they meet the notability guidelines for bands. —C.Fred (talk) 16:51, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They have been mentioned in SPIN, Paste magazine, been the cover for Milwaukee's Shepherd's Express, played a number of high-profile gigs and been featured on MTV's Skins. I think that's more than enough notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radioactive2321 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would, of course, help if that were mentioned in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a work in progress. I'll be sure to add it of course. I don't have time at the moment to write a history or anything but I will when I get more time, and include that info — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radioactive2321 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And they played Barack Obama's re-election show in front of tens of thousands of people and they are signed to Blue Lola Records.

The Express Milwaukee story is substantial coverage; the source is a local music and entertainment publication. The Journal Sentinel is more questionnaire-style than an edited article, but they got a lot of column inches. That's signs of substantial coverage. —C.Fred (talk) 17:11, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
