with Dispatch (band).   states that band which contain "at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable" are notable, but goes on to note that "it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such."  Given that this band seems to be a temporary gig and is only significant in light of the fact that both members went on to play in Dispatch, the information should be included there unless it outgrows the article.  The stylistic differences between the bands, while objectively interesting, does not mean that information on both can't be included in one place--I would actually argue that it adds ''more'' to the target article by illustrating Dispatch's influences
