Notability and other issues[edit]

This article includes using AllMusic, cited a total or three times in the lead. Some may not realize that AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne that specializes in digital advertising that provides "promotional advertisements and messages delivered through email, social media websites, online advertising on search engines, banner ads on mobile or Web sites and affiliates programs.". When approximately 42% of the references in an article directly mention and cite an "advertising" company there is a "not so subtle" promotional slant that looks like publicity.
The title is confusing and certainly ambiguous. I did not have any idea from the title what the article "might" be about because the lead refers to a "project" that is actually and apparently a band. When searching words "have to be used" to disambiguate or the results returns hits related to jobs. An article cannot be presented or written to target or recognizable by only a fan base or it lands in the middle of "What Wikipedia is not".
Other issues would be the lack of reliable sources providing significant coverage that are independent of the subject. While blogs or interviews might be acceptable for content they do not necessarily advance notability. An embedded list as a "Discography" section might be acceptable if the things listed all have articles otherwise it gives the appearance of original research to anyone not a fan. When a subject is presented so ambiguous as to be confusing and hard to search then it becomes necessary, and not out-of-line, to expect "someone" to prove sources exist.
