Camping in Alaska
- ... that the Camping in Alaska song "C U in da Ballpit" was written in two hours after the band realized they rented too much time in the studio?
- ALT1: ... that despite "C U in da Ballpit" being Camping in Alaska's best known song, the band says they all hate it? Source: Well, something that everybody online who digs into us knows is that we hate that song. [Laughs]

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.ThaesOfereode (talk) 14:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC).
- Song titles ignore stylisations per MOS:TITLECAPS; for the hook, the song should be rendered "C U in da Ballpit". I'll leave it to you to update the article and the hook (most likely ALT0, as opinions can change).--Launchballer 14:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: I've made the fixes as requested. I also think ALT0 is the better of the two. ThaesOfereode (talk) 16:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Overall: 
The members section needs citations, particularly important as this is covered by WP:BLP. A random check of sources I could access revealed that the phrases "Cape left shortly after the release of Please Be Nice" and "which led to the band being signed to Broken World Media" are not covered in the citation at the end of that sentence, which does state that Broken World Media re-released the album and Cape left before Bathe was released. Otherwise hooks are interesting and cited, I assume good faith on paywalled sources and the article is new enough.

- @CSJJ104: Thanks for taking a look at this; I appreciate you taking the time to do the review! Re: "Cape left shortly after the release of Please Be Nice", I think this is covered under WP:NOTOR#Simple calculations and "shortly" being relative to the band's overall time in existence (i.e., less than one year [Sept 2013 – Jun 2014] in a band that's been around ~11 years). I can still change it if you really, really insist, but I think this is probably fine as is. Re: "which led to the band being signed to Broken World Media", I've changed this to "; the band was signed to Broken World Media shortly thereafter". Current and former band members should be appropriately cited now. Please let me know if there's anything else that should be fixed. ThaesOfereode (talk) 02:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- @ThaesOfereode: I was not aware of WP:NOTOR#Simple calculations and agree that would cover this, and thanks for adding the citations to the members section. My concern about the statement of the band being signed by Broken World Media is that the source only states that the label picked up that one song, while saying they signed up the band implies a larger deal. This may be my unfamiliarity with the music industry, but I feel many readers will think the same. CSJJ104 (talk) 13:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- @CSJJ104: No worries, thanks. Re: the final concern, the source states that BATHE was picked up by Broken World Media, not just a single song. Looking at the company's Bandcamp site, it looks like only BATHE was released under that label, so I've made the appropriate changes to fix that. Let me know if that works for you.
