Three sentences from the LA Weekly discussing how bad this band is are the only evidence provided of real world notability. A series of links to the band's own website, a succession of twitter comments, and group of Facebook links do not constitute independent, reliable, secondary, non-trivial sourcing. I think this article needs more than that bad LA Weekly review to actually warrant a standalone article. KDS4444^Talk 16:03, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep. Did you search for sources? At all? A bio at Allmusic isn't hard to find, nor is this list of chart placings. Nor were these: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. There has even been a guitar tab book published based on one of their albums. --Michig (talk) 16:16, 19 March 2016 (UTC)—[reply]
• Keep. I'm very confused by this RfD... Tpdwkouaa (talk) 16:38, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Band has multiple chart hit songs and albums and sources about the band are prevalent. Not sure what nominator was looking at when deciding to take this to AfD. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:00, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep Clearly WP:BEFORE not done; band has Top 40 hits and usually just the one clinches all notability; the Juno win seals it. Nate • (chatter) 02:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
