Local band of questionable notability. No independent reliable sources in article. Google search turns up no major reliable third-party coverage, or corroboration for claims of notability (chart positions, awards). MikeWazowski (talk) 12:28, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep HWY 5 is not a "local cover band." They're an original act who has played major shows with major artists. They've gotten international radio play and had a single which charted #103 on a major country radio chart (Music Row), which is quite notable for an unsigned band, especially because this chart is based in Nashville, a music town driven by major labels. -- Ronson87 (talk) 20:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
