Yellow Road Priest

All I could find for pics was this randomly on facebook. Dat fest tho...

Active late 90's and from Chicago. If information out there is correct this might be the most obscure bands with famous members I've ever seen. I'm getting mixed results on this but at least on some releases members include Pete Wentz (Fallout Boy), Tim McIlrath (Rise Against),  Trevor de Brauw (Pelican), Laurent Lebec (Pelican). Again not sure if all of those members were in the band full time or just temporary, but still...

In terms of music.. Slightly uninspiring 90's screamo/emo. Still pretty legit for having members of those bands though. I think I'm missing one compilations song (The Difference Between Us Compilation), but hoping to acquire it at some point. Anyway here's the rest. The Milemarker stuff might qualify as obscure as well, it's instrumental and not very good though. Does not sound like their other stuff I've heard. Check out Yellow Road Priest for sure though.
