Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: The CBC and LFP citations are okay, close to establishing notability although maybe a bit too much on the interview side. Discogs is not a reliable source. Please make sure to cite everything inline, maybe find another published news source talking about him, and the article will be close to ready.

Certainty edit

Certainty (formerly known as Hindsight) was a grunge/alternative outfit formed by Brent McSwiggan and Jj Sorenson in mid 2013. Starting with a 3 song EP “Unwind”, the band began playing locally around the Ontario scene. Over the years the band went through several member changes and did a rebrand under the name “Certainty”. In 2017, they released their second EP titled “Tearing Me Apart”. In 2019, they released their first LP “Temporary Love”. There has been no indication that the band has broken up but appears to be on hiatus.
