Fails WP:MUSIC. Band has released two albums, but neither is on a notable label. They have supported some notable bands, but so have a million other non-notable acts; that's ccertainly not enough to establish notability. I searched through the first 10 pages of Google (and optimistically checked Google Books) but couldn't find any reliable sources at all, let alone any giving the band significant coverage. I even went and looked at the German WP to see if there was anything there, but again no reliable sources cited. Essentially another Myspace band at present.

Keep. The article cites two interviews and a review from three different publications, at least two of which appear to be professionally edited magazines (in addition to a paragraph in yet another reliable-looking music magazine). This is sufficient to pass WP:NM (criterion #1). Contains Mild Peril (talk) 23:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm not certain that Redfield Records (their label) doesn't meet the WP:NMUSIC standard of "one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable". They've been around since 2001, have score of artists on the roster, and seem to have international dealings. Whether their bands are notable I don't know -- they might be notable in Europe, and that's hard to tell for me. I get this from a machine translation of their "about" page, here.
