It's kind of a stretch to say Dylan is from Minneapolis. Hibbing and Duluth likely disagree. Living for a little over a year in Dinkytown as an 18 year old doesn't qualify him as a MSP homeboy, though he did start using the name "Dylan" there (as opposed to Zimmerman).

Belleville, IL. Being so close to St. Louis it's hard to pinpoint older bands because around here everyone claims St. Louis but Here's one that could have at least had a major release but didn't. And all three members were from Belleville.

Max Load. They recorded a demo for Epic and had the majority of a album done even before a contract was signed. Which was already planned and in process when... two of the band members got into a fight at a show, they were headlining, and broke up on stage. One of the members still has the unsigned copy of the contract.
