-The Advantage was founded before the Minibosses according to all music.

Not to mention they're much better at their instruments.

note: the advantage was not formed before the minibosses. there was a band called 'generic' that consisted of spencer, the drummer of the advantage/guitarist of hella, and at its earliest only shared one other member from said band. he has since left the band. "Nick Rogers and Forrest Harding are the two original members that started the band, and Cassie Stewart was featured on bass for awhile as well. At the time the band was called Generic." should be removed altogether. -shawn phase

-Still hardly a Minibosses clone though. That would imply The Advantage heard the Minibosses and wanted to be like them, there are quite a bit of video game cover bands as of recently, that may have done just that, but reading the allmusic pages on both The Advantage and The Minibosses would imply at the very least neither band influnenced the other and they started at about the same time. The way they each handle the covers are also far different.

-Added a little about the history of the band. When I spoke with spencer seim, the story as he told it was that he was in high school and heard about "some dudes" doing nintendo covers, so he asked them if he could play drums, and they accepted him. I am assuming that the people he meant were Rogers and Harding. I don't know Spencer's age, but I am pretty sure that if we look at the time line, Generic predates the Minibosses, and when I asked him about it, he definitely didn't mention any other bands as being influences, he just said "it kind of sucks, because we were doing it first." If someone wants to edit that paragraph with the the info in a way that is structured better, go ahead. --Iggy The Reaper 22:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
