Blatant Dissent's most well known lineup

Blatant Dissent were a punk/hardcore band from the mid 1983 to 1988 from Dekalb. They released two singles and a posthumous LP in their career. The last version of the band eventually changed their name and became the popular Chicago band Tar. They were probably the most well-known band from Dekalb and at one point toured to WV, NY and CT. It can be safely said that Blatant Dissent was the best 80s punk band from Northern Illinois University.


Blatant Dissent reformed in 2009 (August 22nd) at the Abbey Pub. They performed for the first time in 22 years along with [[Subverts, Ring 13, Happy hunting and Otis Ball and The Chains.
