The Interceptors were a short lived band (around 1983) with some big names within the Chicago punk scene. Most of the info I have is from Philip Galanter's writeup on Silent Language.

Steve Albini had this to say about them - "They were sorta epic rock. Not miles away from bands like the Wipers, Soul Asylum (of the day) and Babylon Dance Band, but without a real centerpiece of a vocalist or blazing guitar soloist. As I recall, Dave sang most of it, and there wasn't much "lead" guitar. Not miles away from Trial By Fire, either."
