Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the October 16 edition of “The Homegrown Rocker,” which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
Thanks to this week’s guest, Davey Blowers of Clearfield County horror punk-metal rockers Less Than Zero, for paying us a visit! We found out about Less Than Zero’s beginnings and career so far, plus checked out songs from the group’s just-released first album, Rotten! We also introduced new songs from Threshold Of Insanity and Anthrophobia, updated “Local Music News,” dug a 2003 number by Lehigh Valley rockers Poker Face from the archive for a “Local Music Flashback,” and stepped “Across State Lines” to hear a song by Baltimore area rockers Offensive! (For those who missed the program, a four-part podcast of this show is available for listening or download from Q94’s website, www.q94classicrock.com.
