Upon listening, I agreed to book them and deci

ded to see if other non-US bands heading to THE FEST would be interested. Some thought this was a foolish idea: a lineup of all non-US bands with no local support—you must be out of your mind! But it was too late, the concept was too exciting and unique to not move forward, and Foreign Dissent was born.
