U Speak Belleville? Conversations with people living in Belleville, Illinois. Just across the river from St Louis, Missouri stands a town built on coal mining and stove factories. Join in in conversations with its many diverse residents to discuss life in one town in the American Midwest.
Max Load were probably Belleville's first punk band. They formed in 1978 and recorded. I speak to Terry Jones and Mike Yaffe about the Belleville music scene then and about a few legendary characters.
