Comment: Thanks for your submission! I'm declining this for now due to the reliance on Facebook, which is not a reliable source. There also does not appear to be significant coverage about the band in any of the sources, which makes it difficult to assess its notability. Let me know if you have any questions! (please 
mention me on reply; thanks!) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
