Not an obviously notable band. I declined a speedy because they have a mention in The Swindon Advertiser, which mentions one track was picked up by a US syncing company and expected to (my emphasis) appear in a drama series. Unfortunately, the cynic in me suggests this was done because it is more economic to pick up background / incidental music by an unsigned band than having to pay royalties to a signed one. They've also appeared on BBC 6 Music, but so have many many other non-notable bands - again because it's cheaper to put unsigned acts on due to no royalty payments. I can't find any other news or book hits, or anything else in reliable sources. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:13, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. Not yet notable enough for an article. If they appeared on 6 Music it's because someone there likes them and nothing to do with not paying royalties. --Michig (talk) 20:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

- Delete Seem's non-notable, but I agree that that source excludes speedy-delete. Benboy00 (talk) 18:22, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. I cannot find any evidence that this band meets the guidelines for inclusion at WP:BAND or the WP:GNG. — sparklism hey! 11:49, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
