Buzz Bin?

I'd like to make a category and/or article about the Buzz Clip bands, any other people interested? They were pretty big at the time, and it would be interesting to have them together. --Awiseman 17:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research tag

I put an original research tag on this article simply because there are no references anywhere. It is not just minor and/or specific facts and figures that need to be wp:verified, but the whole article in it's current state has some fundamental flaws. I plan on cleaning it up later (unless someone beats me to it), and put this tag on in the meanwhile rather than just leaving it.

The major examples:

In the wp:lead:

"Of all the bands with "Buzz Bin" videos in the second half of the '90s (the Refreshments, Wax, et al.), Superdrag is the one of the few to tour consistently until their self-imposed hiatus in 2003."

Unverified, and beyond that, I don't think the band's status in comparison to other "buzz bin" bands is important enough for the lead.

"It is believed by many that the intent of the band was to go purposely against Elektra's will with the overall sound of the album. Davis himself has admitted that they were taking advantage of the money Elektra provided to them in order to create the best studio album they could regardless of the label's demands for radio hits, knowing that Superdrag would probably never have that kind of funding again. Only one song, "Do the Vampire", received even minimal radio play and, as expected, Elektra Records subsequently cut most of the band's funding. Almost no touring was done in support of the album, and it remains unheard by many, though most die-hard fans consider it to be their greatest release."

An article shouldn't throw around something as big as a band purposely going against a record label's "will" without sourcing. "Believed"/"die-hard" fans consider = wp:weasel words, which is an example of OR.

"Davis had turned heavily to alcoholism in prior years and many of his songs were about that very topic. One night, before the release of their last album, while driving to his parents' house, Davis pulled his truck over to pray, feeling that he had finally hit rock-bottom."

Again, something like this has to be sourced.

Those are just the major examples. Thanks. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 15:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, good points. I'll look into some and encourage others to also! --AW (talk) 17:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
