This article cites only primary or extremely trivial independent sources. Web searches return trivial results (concert dates, mp3-hocking websites, etc). I stated on 26 April that I intended to AfD the article if this issue was not addressed, but no effort was made. The article was apparently created by a band member, suggesting this is just self-promotion. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 04:52, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It reminds me of the scene from Wayne's World where there's mention of a band called "The Shitty Beatles". "Are they any good?" "They suck." "Oh, so it's not just a clever name." In this case the band may not suck, but there's no indication that this is about anything other than a band with what some would describe as a name that's clever (most people would probably say unimaginative or lame).

- Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. And their name isn't clever either. The Dead Kennedys is a clever name. It's rather offensive without using any profanity. -- Whpq (talk) 17:12, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
