A user has suggested that this article should be put up for Featured Article Review. Here are the stated concerns:
There are numerous single line paragraphs, which can easily be integrated into other paragraphs, this may indicate a poor quality prose.
More specifically, the history section just looks like a list of events that occurred, it barely flows if at all. At the moment, the problem seems to be most prominent in the 1998-2003 and 2010 sections, however the other sections may need to be improved to meet FA standards.
Numerous claims lack references, including
"Golden Rule debuted at number 1 on the ARIA albums chart."
"Their song "Drifting Further Away" features on the fifth season Grey's Anatomy episode 'Stairway to Heaven', which aired on 21 January 2009."
to name just a few.
Lead violates
WP:LEAD. The article currently has around 56,000 characters including references and templates, hence there's no reason why the lead can't comply with the mentioned guideline.
Pursuant to the above, I intending making a number of major edits to this article to stave off the possibility of a FAR leading to a demotion. Consequently the article will look unfinished until the process is complete. Other editors are invited to add constructive work during this time.

I've done my major editing and added a new Afterwards section updating former members activities since disbandment. Other editors are requested to check for style and other faults which may remain.
