Declined PROD. Unsure of notability, so bringing here. I am neutral. Black Kite (talk) 00:52, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The band, while far from a household name, is certainly a notable band in the independent rock scene. A Google search will show that they have been covered by Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and Consequence of Sound, just to name a few prominent music publications. They have played major music festivals (as outlined in the Wikipedia article), and a YouTube video of their SXSW performance from last year has over 100,000 views. Relatively, yes, they are not a popular band in the mainstream (their band name alone assures that will be the case over the course of their career). However, I think they are notable enough that the page should remain.

Full disclosure: I helped make this page as an assignment for a Wikipedia class at my university over a year ago. I made it because I not only love this band, but thought it would be funny to make final college project about a band named Diarrhea Planet. C_Meindl (talk) Posted 5/28/2015 9:41PM EST
