Delete. Completely unsourced article, created by the drummer and thus a WP:COI, about a band with no credible claim to passing WP:NMUSIC: their only releases to date have been self-released material on Bandcamp, there's no indication of national touring shown here, and on and so forth. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which a band is automatically entitled to an article just because they exist -- reliable source coverage in media, demonstrating that they actually pass one or more NMUSIC criteria, is required for an article to become earned.

“It’s a long process. You have to be like three to six months ahead of time,” he said. “If anything, we get attention. That’s the part that takes a lot of time. Every day we’re always messaging people, we have ads running in places and we’re always hitting up local magazines along the route,” Mr. LaClair said.

Yeah, right, and let's not overlook Wiki while we're about it! Fails WP:NBAND. Narky Blert (talk) 00:16, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
