Added:[edit]

In late 2006, College Music Journal featured The Graduate on the cover of their publication, CMJ New Music Report. The article stated that The Graduate was the #1 most added band to college radio stations for the week of December 3rd, 2006. A total of 167 stations added their EP, Horror Show to their lineup.[1]

This makes the band notable, does it not?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattgalligan (talk • contribs)

Copyright violation?[edit]

This same information was provided to me by the band, it is the same information they use when they send out a press kit to any publication, website, etc. The same verbage is found on their purevolume, myspace, last.fm, absolutepunk.net, etc. Please explain to me how a purevolume page can make this page copyright infringement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mattgalligan (talk • contribs) 15:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

NPOV / Copywrite Issue -- Recommending complete rewrite[edit]

I'd say the article needs a total rewrite. The material is from other sources, word-for-word, and obviously isn't neutral. Tagging with Advertisment rewrite. RegainTheTruth 16:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC) RegainTheTruth[reply]

Done. Chubbles 16:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
