[edit] Red martian

Vanity band. --Lee Hunter 23:49, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Unsigned band. It is true that bands that bypass the record companies are going to present a nightmare for verification and notability in the future, but I don't think we're there yet. Geogre 03:29, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: You shouldn't aid in the stigma of unsigned bands or they'll never progress in the future. If they wanted a record deal, they could easily get one. They're popular in England and America, and I think that is a bigger factor in their validity than their label. It's very debatable whether they're truly a vanity band or not, but you can't disregard them in light of their importance to modern music, especially with their affiliations to bands like The Severed Heads and Cute.
