Draft:Ira Glass (band)
| Submission declined on 5 April 2024 by S0091 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: This made me chuckle but... the band does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. The best source is Chicago Reader which actually has some critical assessment of their music but still it's only a couple of sentences so trivial coverage. Stereogum is a blog which is generally considered unreliable (see WP:BLOG) but even so, those are essentially announcements/trivial coverage. The other is an interview which is considered a primary source and not entirely independent. See WP:NMUSIC for the guidelines. You also need at least one qualifying source outside of the Chicago area. S0091 (talk) 19:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Ira Glass is a post-hardcore band from Chicago. Their name is taken from WBEZ radio host Ira Glass.[1] Their first release, “demo” was published on 22 July 2023, which was described by Chicago Reader music critic Leor Galil as “forthright and moody.”[2] The band also drew attention from Stereogum, which noted their “prevailing aesthetic is ominous, discordant post-hardcore so volatile it can hardly be contained.”[3] Their second release, “demo ii” was released 8 January 2024, to positive critical acclaim.[4] Described as a “new vision of Chicago underground rock,” they have since become the city’s preeminent post-hardcore band. Lead songwriter Lise Ivanova described being jaded with punk, and drawn to the post-hardcore genre because “I was looking for something more extreme or interesting.”
