Template:Band

Use this template for bands. It will automatically add the page to the 'Bands' category and the 'Notable Bands' category, if appropriate. You can add the following fields:

• years_active: When the band was active
• main_songwriter: If there was one person who did most of the songwriting, you can add it here
• genres: Which genres the band did mostly
• see_also: Other bands that were related to this one
• known_for: Why this band was important
• notable_for: Use this in place of known_for to automatically add the band to 'Notable Bands'.

Here's an example of what you'd stick into a band's page to put them in a template:

{{Band
|genres=[[Hardcore Punk|Punk]], [[Easy Listening]], [[Grindcore]]
|years_active=1995-2002
|main_songwriter=Dave
|notable_for=Last band in town to release an 8-track tape
}}
