Notability
[edit]I read through the notable criteria and came up with the following proof of the band's mild success and importance.
Internet based record reviews, none of which are just repeated advertising or interviews in which the band just talks about themselves: http://www.punknews.org/review/10909 http://www.punknews.org/review/9298 http://whenyoumotoraway.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-museum-mouth-sexy-but-not-happy.html http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Punk/museum_mouth-is http://wae.blogs.starnewsonline.com/23099/album-review-museum-mouths-sexy-but-not-happy/ http://www.verbicidemagazine.com/2012/02/20/museum-mouth-sexy-but-not-happy/ http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1903762 http://www.thisisbooksmusic.com/2012/01/24/some-stuffs-museum-mouth-new-albins-2012/ http://www.zaptownmag.com/2012/02/museum-mouth-sexy-but-not-happy-self-released http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Punk/Museum_Mouth-Tears_In_My_Beer http://reviewsic.com/2010/06/29/museum-mouth-tears-in-my-beer/ http://thepunksite.com/reviews.php?page=album/e_n/museummouth_tearsinmybeer http://picassoblueyo.blogspot.com/2010/05/museum-mouth-tears-in-my-beer.html http://www.ihatethesoundofguitars.com/content/lists/weekly/2010-week-14/ http://punkmusic.about.com/b/2010/09/29/download-museum-mouths-entire-discography-for-free.htm http://www.soundaslanguage.com/2010/03/02/media-museum-mouth/
And here are web versions of printed media showing coverage of the band:

http://ghettoblastermagazine.com/2010/stomping-grounds-museum-mouth-southport-north-carolina/
There's also a half page feature spotlighting the band and it's accomplishments in issue 26 of Ghettoblaster Magazine. You can request a pdf of this issue here: http://ghettoblastermagazine.com/in-print/
Both full length albums have reviews in print issues of the national publication The Big Takeover, which you can pick up at your nearest Barnes & Noble.
A number of magazines, websites, and podcasts also feature extensive interviews with members of the band where they do more than "talk about themselves."
Although the band has self released all of their music without the help of a record label the album "Sexy But Not Happy" is available for purchase from the iTunes store (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sexy-but-not-happy/id499084986) and is available for live streaming from the online radio service Spotify.
The band is also an ensemble of two or more independently notable musicians as Karl Kuehn is the primary force behind active band "SWTHRT" and Kory Urban is the main person backing the musical project "Mourning Is For Suckers."
SWTHRT press: http://wae.blogs.starnewsonline.com/16888/swthrt-–-“compact-disc”-cd-review/ http://performermag.com/2011/06/01/record-review-swthrt/ (this review was also featured in the June 2011 print issue of Performer Magazine) http://www.punknews.org/review/10512 http://positivexposure.com/post/15134571338/swthrtcd

Museum Mouth plan to release a number of music videos within the next few months as well as a 7" this June, and another full length slated for a late 2012/ early 2013 release. So this article is guaranteed to grow and prove it's importance if the above links haven't already done so.
Thank you for your consideration.
