• Keep allmusic has them. You wouldn't know it from the article as it stands now, but this is a legit band. Friday 23:05, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Quite a few Google hits for a band that disbanded so long ago. A fan site here provides some more detail. DS1953 23:43, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. The article is in a poor state but the Allmusic.com article shows they meet WP:MUSIC in having toured with well known bands such as Pavement and Rocket from the Crypt see [1] and recorded three albums. Capitalistroadster 00:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per above keeps. Very badly needs expansion. --Etacar11 00:51, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete it looks to be vanity MicahMN | Talk 02:33, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep due to MTV rotation and released albums. --Alan Au 03:58, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I have expanded and cleaned up the article. Further to my vote above, I would argue that Alias Records qualifies as a major independent label having released records by Yo La Tengo, American Music Club and Archers of Loaf see Alias Records webpage. [2]. They therefore clearly meet two WP:MUSIC criteria. Capitalistroadster 09:26, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
