CONFLICT OF INTEREST
I, AIDAN GOODMAN, AM A CURRENT MEMBER IN THE BAND WHO IS WRITING THIS WIKIPEDIA PAGE. WHILE THE EDITING AND PUBLISHING OF THIS PAGE DOES BENEFIT MYSELF, AND FELLOW BAND MEMBERS I AM ATTEMPTING TO BE AS UNBIAS AS POSSIBLE. I HOPE TO PRESENT AND ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATION OF OUR BAND AND ITS STORY.

WP:BAND TOP THREE SOURCES
WP:BAND criterion #1 satisfied due to publication being well known local newspaper in Tacoma WA, and author has no affiliation with the band or members.
https://weekly-volcano.com/262024 - This article highlights a lot of the story and beginning of Meldrop, as well as their release on Spotify.
WP:BAND criterion #1 due to being a well known music magazine that has photograph and written commentary about Meldrop's set at Seattle's Freakout Weekender.
I have reevaluated our sources and have included notable newspapers and magazines that have written about the band. I hope this presents an unbiased and truthful view of the band. Please let me know if there is a need for more sources of this caliber, and or any edits that are necessary .

Good work with those amendments and thank you for your COI declaration.
Unfortunately, it appears you are not quite understanding the criteria that qualify a draft page to be accepted on Wikipedia, so I would encourage you to read thoroughly all the links I included in my comment on the draft, especially
‘Your First Article’,
‘Referencing for Beginners’ and
‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. For example, in your COI declaration (which, incidentally, should be on your User Page, rather than the Draft Talk page), you say you are "ATTEMPTING TO BE AS UNBIAS AS POSSIBLE. I HOPE TO PRESENT AND ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATION OF OUR BAND AND ITS STORY", however lack of bias and accuracy and truthfulness are not the core criteria for a page, rather it is notability. And the sources you include are not sufficiently reliable to meet any of the standards identified in
WP:GNG and
WP:NBAND, which are the most relevant criteria.
Further, because you have a
conflict of interest, the page is required to meet even higher standards.
In my view, a page for your band is
WP:TOOSOON. I would encourage you to save the draft somewhere safe on your personal computer (because inactive draft pages expire after 3 months), and in time, as your band hopefully garners notability, add
reliable sources that evidence that as they appear, at which point the draft may be worth re-submitting.
(Reviewers please note this comment and others on
Talk page.)
