I would dispute them being labelled an indie rock act. It's twee, pure and simple.
Although Fundamentally I agree, this would be hard to justify, especially since 'twee' is widely agreed to be a subgenre ofindie rock.
I'm no expert but I don't think they are that sweet or twee (they do swear a lot). I would classify them as indie rock though definetly on the boundaries. I am tempted to get rid of the indie pop tag on the page.
I agree that I don't like the indie pop tag (it's not correct), so I think I will remove it. I think there are also punk and grunge influences in their sound, but how do you justify that?

The aim here is to provide free information, not pretty pictures. If you want to take a better picture, license it under a free license and upload it, you're more than welcome to.

So you took the picture. I am not suggesting another picture is taken; another picture I think should be found. And dont give me 'pretty' picture. The picture must speak for the article. The aim certainly is not just the info. —Preceding

I would, but Im dead lazy. I cant be bothered to learn how to upload pictures. Nevertheless, I hope some one agrees with me and will change the picture. —Preceding

That is unacceptable. Look at the tag of the publicity photo: it says it can only be used "in the absence of a free alternative". There is a free alternative now. We should not be adding copyrighted photos to Wikipedia if it can be avoided. Please do not replace it unless you have a freely-distributable alternative. Also, please sign your posts. —

awful awful band. it is disturbing how successful they have become considering they have no grasp on how to play an instrument or sing, and their songwriting skills are extremely lacking.
So Patience Hodgson announced on her Twitter page that herself and John Patterson got married including pictures to back up their claim but that's not good enough for Wikipedia because the information isn't on a web site. Good Grief.
