  • Delete: fails WP:NBAND. I really tried to find information about this band, who are definitely still active, but nothing indicates that they pass the notability guidelines. The article was created in 2006 by a SPA who clearly knew the band well, and has barely been touched since then, save for a brief update in 2011 by an IP based in the Cadiz province where the band is from. Since 2006, the band has released two more studio albums, a compilation album of B-sides and previously unreleased material, and their most recent release was a live album in 2016, recorded in 2013. Their two most recent albums are only available digitally through their own Bandcamp website, bar a limited edition of 500 vinyl LPs released via a small independent label based in Granada in southern Spain. I don't believe this website is an RS [1], but I looked at the list of concerts at the bottom of the article, which are all local to southern Spain and include two small festivals in 2017 where the band was at the bottom of the bill [2], [3] (note that for the former festival, G.A.S. Drummers' lead singer was also the organiser of the terrace party). There's another non-noteworthy festival here from 2015 where they were again the opening act [4]. They toured Canada last year, but as the third-on-the-bill opening act to Propagandhi and Iron Chic. The venue where their 2016 live album was recorded is in Cadiz and has a capacity of 200 people. I know hardcore punk isn't the type of genre to appeal to the mainstream and sell out stadia worldwide, but if after nearly two decades of activity you're only playing to 200 people in your home province, and you are bottom of the bill at non-notable festivals in your home county, that isn't a good indication that you pass WP:NBAND. I think the only thing that could save this article is an editor who is a fan of this music and knows where to find reliable sources about this genre.
