Poorly sourced article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The charting claim doesn't pass NMUSIC #2, as it rests on an uncertified WP:BADCHART (Mediabase) rather than Canada's real notability-making pop charts (Billboard), and the CASBY Awards (a single-station local award that made a bid for nationalized importance in the late 1980s but never actually succeeded) are not prominent enough to get their nominees over NMUSIC #8 — and I've also already had to strip claims from this article (a longlisted Polaris Music Prize nomination and winning the Sirius XM "Emerging Artist Award") that were actually outright false: they were just copy-paste from Mounties, not things that ever actually happened to Gay Nineties. And except for one short blurb in their local hometown alt-weekly the referencing otherwise consists entirely of unreliable blogs and a corporate press release, so they can't even make the basic claim of having enough reliable source coverage to get over NMUSIC #1.
