Article about a band, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, bands are not "inherently" notable just because they existed, and have to be shown to pass specific criteria supported by reliable sourcing -- but the strongest potential notability claim being attempted here is touring, which is not an instant inclusion freebie in the absence of reliable source coverage about the tour. But this is referenced entirely to primary and unreliable sources that aren't support for notability, and a ProQuest search only found glancing namechecks and short blurbs rather than substantive coverage that would get them over WP:GNG.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: There's an Australian band with the same name that seems to have more coverage... I tried in Canadian sources and not much pops up. I don't think this meets GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 20:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
