The Color of Violence

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

closest thing to notability shown here is multiple bluelinked members but Bloom's only claim to notability is being a member of two notable bands, one of which is this band. without Color of Violence he is not notable so Color of Violence is not notable. sourced by band's label. lacks in independent reliable sources. nothing satisfying wp:music duffbeerforme (talk) 02:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The Color of Violence is signed to what is easily one of the most notable indie labels, Epitaph Records. The band features members from the notable bands From First to Last and The Human Abstract. Many of the former members were also in From First to Last. Their debut album Youthanize features a number of guest musicians from other notable bands, such as Limp Bizkit, Daughters and I Set My Friends On Fire. Youthanize has also been reviewed by Decibel magazine, Alternative Press magazine, Talon Marks newspaper, AbsolutePunk.net, ArtistDirect and PunkNews.org (which has an ISSN and features writers from other notable publications). The Color of Violence has also received other third-party coverage outside of album reviews with interviews and other news posts [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The group meets criteria WP:MUSIC criteria #1, #6, and is half way to #5. It should also be noted that the Alternative Press ref used in the article gave a lot of good information about the band, but is currently a dead link. AP is in the process of revamping their website and archiving their old news posts, so hopefully that will be back up soon. Fezmar9 (talk) 04:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Members from another notable band, only one album but on an important indie label, and putting aside all the user reviews and forum posts there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources including New Zealand Herald, FemaleFirst, Blabbermouth.net, and Exclaim!.--Michig (talk) 15:44, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Michig – meets WP:BAND criteria #1 and #6. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 04:57, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
