• Keep The band is notable...signed onto record label, released some albums. The WP article is also high up on a google search, and it fullfills the requirements for music notability--Osbus 18:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment WP:MUSIC says this about bands in terms of labels:

Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

I don't think "Hello Asshole Records" and "Half Alder Press" qualify as important indie labels. I don't see any place on the notability standards that this band hits. Metros232 21:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

And don't forget Pacific Rock Records. --Osbus 13:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, a record label which gets about 100 Google hits and lists about 8 albums as being released by them. Not a particularly notable indie label. Metros232 13:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: WP articles are always high up on a google search.

Not all. --Osbus 13:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I made the page and obviously found them notable enough in the first place. They did a full US tour in the summer of 2005. Kellen ^T 15:53, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Well put this in the article with a verifiable source and that'd help the article's cause since that's one of the standards of notability for bands. Metros232 16:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Metros232's most recent comment. Let me know if a reliable source for Kellen`'s claim shows. Stifle (talk) 23:53, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep In response to the above comments regarding releases, they are set to put out something on Load Records in the fall which is a very notable underground label. They were also featured on 'Golden Grouper' [1], a compilation of up-and-coming California bands put out by Gold Standard Labs, another notable independent record label. I don't know what counts as "verifiable" in terms of tour dates but here are some reviews/photos/write-ups from their August 2005 tour: New Orleans [2], Cleveland [3], Portland [4] and a review of their self-titled release which references their show in Salt Lake City [5]. They also discuss their Houston show with the San Diego Reader here. hotdiggitydogs 07:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep just notable enough. gidonb 15:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
