The result was Keep. Yes I know I'm involved but fuck it, this should not have been nominated, they have charted all over the world, they have been certified gold, they have had coverage of their many international tours, they have multiple albums on an "important" label, they have a LOT of coverage from independent reliable sources. No need to waste any more time on this.. duffbeerforme ( talk) 11:26, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
This is a long article with lots of blue links, but the sourcing for this band is atrocious. There is not one single source cited which meets the dual test of being both reliable and independent. Most material is sourced from the band's own site, a small amount from AMG, and we even have a merch sales site in there(!). They are signed to indie labels, which means precisely zip, as signing marginal bands is pretty much the textbook definition of what makes an indie label.
WP:BEFORE did not throw up anything useful. It does look as if they recorded one song that was used by a footie team, but that has not resulted in any substantive sources about the band, and notability is not inherited (even if simply being used by a football team did confer notability, which it does not).
