Delete - This one is a close call, but I must agree that it is too soon for this band. They have gotten some early and brief mentions in the Australian alt-rock press ([1], [2]), but I don't think this achieves the "significant coverage" requirements at WP:NBAND. Their notability may improve if their recent debut album get any notice beyond the specialty press. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 00:55, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doomsdayer520’s comment is thoughtful and compelling. Woerich (talk) 02:13, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The sources Doomsdayer linked are fairly short, but IMO they meet NMUSIC's standard of being "non-trivial." I'm not quite so sure that they're reliable, though—they're fairly obscure sources, but they do seem to be well-run operations with full-time people behind them. Also, if this is kept, it should be moved to The Violet Stones (there's nothing to disambiguate it from). Gaelan 💬✏️ 20:32, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - This is, as stated above, somewhat of a close call. The group has received a bit of attention. That's important, to an extent, but then we still don't have enough coverage to really build a page. I'm not sure, but deletion seems to be the right call.
