The young sextet have signed a deal (excluding Australasia, where they remain independent) with the legendary Decca Records, a label that has been in existence since 1929, becoming the first ever Australian act to do so.
We can reveal that the young sextet have signed a deal with the legendary Decca Records, a label that has been in existence since 1929, becoming the first ever Australian act to do so.
Macklemore did it three times last year. Also, Sheppard do not appear to be independent (they release on a label). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.38.201.80 (talk) 06:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Looked into it further, and Macklemore also held #1 for 4 weeks with Same Love. Given that not only is this statement entirely inaccurate, but the source URL is dead, I'm removing the statement. 175.38.201.80 (talk) 06:44, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Added information on Greg Sheppard under "Early Life" but may be more relevant to another section as he is still an active part of the bands management. Furrybarry (talk) 00:38, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
I have problems with:
"Their father, Greg Sheppard, owns the business side of the band, is a partner in a law firm linked with significant political corruption and was a former director of the security firm operating the Manus Island detention centre.[2]"
I agree. The focus should be more on Sheppard, not their father. Maccore Henni Mii! Pictochat Mii! 17:56, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I have noticed there are two reference styles in use in this article, inline references and list-defined references. Should these be converted into one style or the other? I just don't want to make major changes to the article without discussion.--Reader781 (talk) 04:37, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
<ref></ref>
tags, but a large amount of references are defined as list-defined references within the Reflist template. If there are no objections, I will standardise the references to being inline.--Reader781 (talk) 03:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)@Tennineeighttwo: The content you have removed is relevant to the article, as he was - when the scandal was reported - the band's owner and financier[1]. Would you be comfortable with reinstating the paragraph if it was phrased in the past tense? Also the permanent dead link (I just checked the Wayback Machine, and the only archives are 404 errors) can be removed. Reader781 (talk) 04:53, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

@Reader781: Apologies I didn't see your early talk section here. Unfortunately the issue is that Greg was not the band's owner and financier when the scandal was reported (2015). As you can see from this industry article in June 2014, the band were managed/financed by Chugg and Scooter Braun. https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/justin-biebers-manager-to-launch-aussie-band-into-america/ There are several other articles out there confirming these dates, with Chugg as the management and label/financiers back to 2012. Therefore it's not relevant to the band. Tennineeighttwo (talk) 03:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
I am not friends with or related to the band, I do not work for the band and have never worked for the band. I am a fan of the band as I am of many Australian bands, and have closely followed the Australian music industry for years. The information you continually post has already been disputed and resolved in the talk section previously.
1) As previously stated, this conflicts with Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy. Has the "implication into money laundering of money from PNG into Australia" been placed at Greg's doorstep in a court of law (or similar)? If he has not had a legal opportunity to defend himself against any allegations made, then wikipedia articles should not impugn his professional reputation, even tangentially, by using this phrase.
2) Again, as previously stated on this page - Relevance: This article is about Sheppard, the band, and not directly about Greg. The possibility of his firm being linked with alleged political corruption is not relevant to the band's history. In an article on Greg himself, it could be relevant; He is notable enough for his own article.
3) You suggest this is relevant to the band because Greg was the financier and manager of Sheppard at the time (2015). As you can see from this industry article in June 2014, the bad were managed by Chugg and Scooter Braun. There are several other articles out there confirming these dates. https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/justin-biebers-manager-to-launch-aussie-band-into-america/ I have searched and there are ZERO industry articles to be found that state Greg Sheppard as the manager of the band at any time, or the financier of the band. Therefore it is a)false information, and b) any information about Greg Sheppard is not relevant to the band.

Hi @Tennineeighttwo and 203.18.34.190: I came to this article after seeing the WP:COIN notice. Tennineeighttwo has confirmed that they do not have a COI, but there is very clearly a content dispute happening in this article. Wikipedia has lots of ways effectively discuss content disputes. Here are some suggestions below:
Would both of you be interested in pursuing one of these methods? If so, I am happy to facilitate its creation. Z1720 (talk) 02:45, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Thank you Z1720 - yes I am happy to pursue any one of these options, and appreciate your offer to facilitate. Tennineeighttwo (talk) 03:09, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
If you see singular nouns as relating to tge band, grammar says that that is incorrect. I'm not trying to be a grammar perfectionist, but if anyone could double-check and see if that's all correct (OK), that would be perfect. Maccore Henni Mii! Pictochat Mii!

I feel like the 2019-present section covers more then it should, especially with the one line mentions. Also, Kaleidoscope Eyes was released in 2021, not 2019. Any help would be appreciated.
