From what I can tell, there's no links anywhere on the site to that particular page, you have to know the exact term and search it: http://www.gnoosic.com/discussion/

How is Google supposed to find that out?!

That's a good point. Googlebot probably wouldn't try out combinations in the search box, so unless the site owner provides a sitemap Google wouldn't know about entries.

How are you determining nothing links this? Google?

No, I'm browsing the site and I'm unable to find any links to those band-specific pages.
