- KEEP it took me many an hour to make their page, the one of the greatest bands ever

- Keep Important part of Glasgow's music scene and certainly more notable than some other articles I have seen. Google hits on first album not particularly valid measure, especially owing to the title's unusual spelling. Have also undertaken a UK tour, plus an additional one as support, and are about to release a second album on a major label. Press coverage includes national newspapers, magazines and radio. --Seaweasel 11.34, 24 July 2006 (BST)
- Then it will be a simple matter for you to cite some of the articles. Please cite some sources. Uncle G 00:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Review of gig in the Guardian, lest someone decides the Scotsman is not a national newspaper... http://arts.guardian.co.uk/reviews/story/0,11712,1538361,00.html. They also played at the wickerman festival in Scotland this year (2006)
- Delete per The Scotsman, where they merit two sentences under Five That Should Make It, they haven't made it yet. When they do (i.e. two full albums, not singles, released by One/BMG), the article can be re-created. --Wine Guy Talk 01:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
