This page reads as if it was written by Rob Montejo. Who ever referred to him as the "Godfather of North American shoegaze"? That definitely needs a citation.

I couldn't find a reliable source for that statement so have removed it.--Michig (talk) 12:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, there's no way this is NPOV. I've tagged it as such, but I lack the knowledge to clean it up. 66.93.12.46 (talk) 03:05, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I've had a go at cleaning it up. Hopefully this has addressed your concerns.--Michig (talk) 12:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion tag

The speedy deletion tag on this was a nonsense. The band released several albums on notable labels. The article needs cleaning up, which I intend to do. If anyone is considering using WP:PROD or WP:AFD on this, please tale a look at WP:BAND first, as the band meets the notability criteria.--Michig (talk) 10:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
