• Comment: YouTube, Spotify and Facebook are not reliable sources. Theroadislong ( talk) 08:43, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Some of these citations aren't relevant. "The band is known for their energetic live performances" linking to a video of a performance doesn't show they are "known" forthat. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 11:28, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
