Naïve Google search shows that the band exists. We knew that. It also shows that the band had a first album. No third-party coverage found (and no third-party coverage listed in sources).

Keep, as the sources show significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Agreed that we should integrate the material from the draft article, though.

for one, anyone can submit copy to Allmusic, and labels/music pr firms do this routinely to raise profiles of bands/artists, so this does not constitute "significant coverage," Stereogum is also dubious with respect to connections to pr companies - it's how this industry works, nobody wrote about this band because they were notable.

Allmusic bios and reviews are written by Allmusic staff writers. They are absolutely not written by labels or PR firms. --

Furthermore, if you check out most of the newish acts listed in this AFD category you will find that the overwhelmingly majority do not have a staff written bio or album reviews which they would have if AllMusic really was a pr operation. In fact what they mainly get is a database entry only. Even the NYT welcomes submissions as do many reliable publications, imv
