"It teaches you a lesson, it teaches you a lot. You gotta make the most of everything you got" "Get on a stage and have your say. Step on faceless men who get in your way." (Faceless Men-Vice Squad from their State of The Nation EP, Released 9-22-82 on the Riot City Records label)

Blockchain Coalition certainly have the faces and creative talent that no one who sees them live or digs their two albums will ever forget. From the emotionally powered vocal of Tony Engel to the thunderous drumming of Ron Thomas. and the searing guitar leads of Matt Rhodes, BCC is back with Postmodern Distraction, their just released second full-length album. I talk with Tony, Ron, Matt, keyboardist Louis Paskalides and bassist Bob Berg as they officially launch the album with their release party at Tailgaters in Bolingbrook. Veteran Chicago rocker Danny Lynch keeps the party going with his new band, Society Of Hoodlums, featuring the longtime drummer of his namesake band, Lynch, Frank Pace.
