comments[edit]

I'll second what's already been said, The Wind Whistles qualify as professional musicians and the albums success is relatively clear, perhaps not on a commercial front but as they release via a Creative Commons license that's hardly a relevant criticism and they have attracted a respectable number of downloads and listeners.

It should be noted that the standards of Creative Commons music are rather different to those perpetuated by the mainstream commercial music industry, but that doesn't mean that such success is any less valid or influential once a sizable enough audience is attained.

I do not think that The Wind Whistles are not of enough significance. As a matter of fact, they have published three albums so far, and have already toured through America and Europe. Most important, the do their music for a living. I am going to provide more information and sources right now! Lennex (talk) 23:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, maybe a criterion for significance is a commercially available CD? See [1]. This also provides some further album reviews, including one from Discorder Magazine, which is at least through the radio station it is published by mentioned on Wikipedia. Well, it's quite late now here back in old Europe, so I'll go to bed now, hoping the article will still exist tomorrow ... Lennex (talk) 00:07, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update on the link above: Unfortunately the have changed the content, so the excerpt from the review from Discorder Magazine is not online any more, and neither has the magazine itsself the review online. So far, I have added a little bit more information and sources to the article, I hope it will suffice. Still, I really think that a quite successful new band -- right now their tour has them taken to London -- is significant enough to have an article here at Wikipedia.
