A Swedish hardcore punk band that fails WP:BAND. Google News archive only provides passing mentions. Google Books likewise also only provides passing mentions (e.g. [1], [2]). Northamerica1000(talk) 14:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. For a band that primarily existed in the early 1980s, relying on an online search isn't a reliable way of determining notability. They have had albums released on Havoc Records and Distortion Records, Daniel Ekerot's Swedish Death Metal calls them "another important band of the first phase of Swedish hardcore...the guitar sound remains unsurpassed", GBooks indicates that the band is covered in The Encyclopedia of Swedish Punk and Hardcore Punk, 1977-1987, there's an article here, Folkbladet described them as "legends". --Michig (talk) 17:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
