As I noted in my PROD, there's an AllMusic bio and two reviews, but I found nothing else to support notability. However, said PROD has been removed because, as noted, this band has multiple notable members. I'll save the longer rant and just say that I think WP:NBAND#6 is silly for a standard of notability, especially when it's the only one a band has going for it. In this case, it pretty clearly is the only thing, and it alone should not be enough for this band page to be kept. Unless more coverage is located somewhere, then I see no reason for this to be kept as is. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 20:17, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Nothing found for this band, Eddie Vedder seems to have a similarly-named band [1], it's a delete for me. Oaktree b (talk) 01:08, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Even if you're going for "multiple notable members" as a notability claim, the article still has to be reliably sourced to real media coverage — but literally the only footnote here is their own Bandcamp, which is not a notability-building source at all.
