	'''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.
