This band's Facebook page says "After a long battle with some guy at wikipedia I managed to convince him we are a real band so for now the... page is staying haha", but actually all he did was convince me to undo my A7 deletion and ask him for sources. None have been provided, and my searches have found nothing at all, so that I think this is probably a hoax. The "findsources" links above show only the group's Facebook page and some Twitter. I haven't found back records of the AIR charts, but searches for their supposed hit single give nothing:

• Google "Fear Of The Light" + "Stevo Maido"
• Google "Fear Of The Light" + "AIR chart"

There is nothing in Allmusic. Their Facebook page doesn't read like that of a real band with an album just out - nothing about music, gigs or records, it's mainly about their attempt to get into Wikipedia. Fails WP:N and WP:V. JohnCD (talk) 09:31, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - to confirm that this is a hoax, see Calling All Cars (band) from which most of it is copy/pasted, including the claims about opening for AC/DC's tour and being "AIR Mover of the Week" for 24 Mar 2010. JohnCD (talk) 10:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
