Comment: Non-notable band not meeting the requirements of WP:BAND. Article's author has obvious bias . The article is pure gossip and promotional in nature. It has no credible resources whatsover. The band is not mentioned in any reputable music directory or chart

Comment: Re CoI. There is none. I am not the "designer for the band" and never have been. About 4 or 5 years ago, as a self-employed, independent designer I was commissioned to design a Pete Frame-type 'family tree' of the band members. It was a small job for which I received a small one-off payment. I was employed by Mo Foster for an original Angel Air release. I have no connection whatsoever to the Japanese company/release, they didn't even have access to my original Illustrator files, they scanned my work direct from the sleeve notes. I have no financial stake whatsoever in anything released by Affinity, Mo Foster or Angel Air. It makes absolutely no difference to me whether they sell 1 copy or a 100, my fee does not increase one iota. Now that that is cleared up I suggest editors give their !votes based solely on notability criteria. Affinity meets at least 3 of the criteria laid down in  when only 1 is required. Arguments of my CoI are simply strawman arguments. {{User|Two-lost-souls}}'s vitriol is more than likely down to his/her own CoI, as in May 2008 I attempted to get an early version of The Whip (band)|The Whip AfD'ed. If you look at their contrib history you may see the connection. A perusal of my talk page may also shed some further light. As for {{User|Zhebius}}, well he had a similar http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Andy_Billups&diff=prev&oldid=306342819 outburst at another AfD I was involved in. I'll leave the reader to decide its relevance. Strangely enough Zhebius has only ever commented on 2 AfDs... can anyone smell meat
