The Vans Brothers

This is another classic case of an unsourced article by a SPA from January 2008. I attempted to retrieve both the Scoop.NZ link (archive.org and the Scoop website) and the interview link but to no avail. My searches found nothing good aside from this. At best, if this existed, it was a local garage band. I'm inviting tagger @Calamondin12: for comment. SwisterTwister talk 04:16, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even if this band existed at all, which is doubtful, its album (The Story of Your Soul), record label (Insurance Good Records) and apparent songs (such as "Clothing World Blues") appear to be hoaxes. If such an album had been "released" in New Zealand in 2006, or if it had ever had a "small fanbase," it would have drawn a fair number of Google hits even with a minor record label. There is also no such place as Leviathan Studios in Auckland. Looks like a clear hoax. Calamondin12 (talk) 12:04, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
