Is this band really notable enough to warrant an entry? I've never heard any mention of them anywhere but here. I suspect this may be a vanity entry.

They have music in Project Gotham Racing 3's soundtrack. This would suggest they're slightly bigger than a local band who's made a vanity entry.

Looks suspiciously like a vanity entry.


On the contrary; DeathBoy are noteable enough to have been mentioned on more than one occasion by Warren Ellis (who contributed a spoken piece for a DeathBoy track) and Mick Mercer; and they have been a headlining act at Whitby Goth Weekend. They have had one commercial album release (Music To Crash Cars To) with another pending release very shortly (End Of An Error). I'd say that makes them pretty damned noteable.

I'll second that. --AlisonW 09:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I have a pile of Deathboy live photos I can pick a nice one from once I'm back from holiday. I assume they're on a backup CD somewhere ... - David Gerard 11:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
