to Brakes (band).  Taking the criteria on , they have no charted hit, had no record gone gold, had no albums released on a major label or larger indie, have no notable members, do not represent a major part of a 'scene' or musical movement, have won no major awards or competitions, have been the subject of no major media articles and do not appear to have been on rotation on a major radio network or been the subject of a broadcast on such a network.  Furthermore, outside of these criteria they do not appear to be signed to any label at all (feel free to correct me though) and a search on allmusic seems to return results only for a 60's band of the same name, so it doesn't appear as though many people are listening to them.  The only criteria they begin to match is number 9 - "has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that page)" - but playing on the TV commercial of a personal finance company seems to stretch the concept of notability to its very limit
